GUARDIAN CRANES.
They Take the Place of Shepherd
Dogs In Venezuela.

They Take the Place of Shepherd
Dogs In Venezuela.
The natives of Venezuela and adj
joining countries on the north SIDE OF
the river Amazon often avail them
selves of the services of a native crane
to care for their poultry and also, in
the place of collies or shepherd dogs, to
guard and herd their domestic animals.
This remarkable bird, which the In
dams call yakamik, and the ornitholo-
gists Psophia crepitans, is found in
wild state in the great forests which
lie between the northern coasts of
South America and the Amazon river,
particularly in Venezuela and British
Guiana. The birds never leave the for
ests unless shot or captured. They may
be trusted with the care Of flock of
sheep or domestic fowls and every
me rning will drive the ducks and poul-
try to their feeding places and, care
fully collecting any stragglers, bring
them safely home at night. A yakamik
soon learns to know and obey the voice
of it's master, follows him, when per-
mitted, wherever he goes and appears
delighted at receiving his caresses.
1t pines at his absence and welcomes
his return and is extremely jealous Of
any rival. Should any dog or cat ap-
proach it flies at it with the utmost
fury and, attacking it with wing and
beak, drives it away. It presents itself
regularly during meals, from which it
chases all domestic animals and even
the negroes who wait on the table if it
is not we'll acquainted with them, and
only asks for share of the eatables
after it has driven away all who might
aspire to a favorable notice from the
family.-Brooklyn Eagle.
