Reason why Birds yInke Toilet.

As bird fashions DO not change the
lady birds Of today wear the same
kind of dresses their grandmothers
wore and are never troubled about
style. TWO suits year are quite
enough for most birds, but they need
10 take great care OF them. Each sep
aratc feather must be cleaned and look
ed over and the uSelcs, ones pulled
ont. You have seen q canary precnine
his feathers by lifting them and
smoothing them out with his b.l. and
YOU have thought him vain to jo this
so often. If YOU neglect TO coMb your
hair It will become tangled and look
untidy. but more serious Things happen
10 a bird who does not comb his fcath-
ers. These feathers are not packed
close together. you know. but lie loose.
and have places between them filled
with air. When a bird wants to set
warmer he lifts bis feathers 50 that
these a.r spaces may be- larger. but If
his feathers arc tangled or Wet and
dirty lie could not raise them, and soon
he could not kccp the heat in his little
body aud would die. Of course.
