Mr.. Edgar r. Waite of the Austria
liam Museum at Sydney, in support Of
Mr.. Henschers account of the duet
which his bullfnch and canary used to
sing, cites a somewhat similar feat
performed by two magpies. The first
one had been taught a simple little
song, which he piped very often and
accura. ely, even maintaining it exact
ly in f, the key in which It was first
given to him. A second magpie was
purchased, and the bird soon learned
the tune from the other one. When
the first bird commenced its song the
newcomer Immediately came to atten-
tion. and with half-open beak awaited
a certain note, at which point the
other bird stopped, and the song was
finished by the second singer. No
matter how far separated. if the birds
were within hearing distance Of one
another, the duet was always sung in
this way.
