Flesh Eating Parrots Of
Australia

Y HERE is species of parrot in
Australia, very similar III APP
i pearance to the common pol
ly, which subsists almost en-
tirely on the kidneys of sheep. This
parrot lived in Australia before white
men went there AS sheep were
brought~to the country long after the
discovery of the island, the parrots
strange diet is a newly-acquired taste
When sheep raising first became an
industry in Australia, the sheep
herders in certain northern parts
were much puzzled to find that many
Of their sheep died mysteriously Ex-
aiming the carcasses more closely,
they discovered that in the side of
each one was hole, just where the
kidney is located. Further investi-
CATION proved that in each case that
organ had been literally torn out, evil
IDENTIFY while the sheep was vet alive
The sheep herders watched, and one
day one of them saw a parrot alight
on a sleeps back. At the same time
the sheep began, to run up and down
in great distress, bleating piteously,
until it fell on its side Then the par
rot rose in flight, bearing in its beak
the sleeps kidney.
The news of this strange incident
soon reached the scientific world, and
several naturalists went to Australia
to study the phenomenon. 1t puzzled
them that the parrots should have &C
CURED a taste for a food which was
manifestly new to them.
Investigation proved that the par
rots had previously lived on certain
herbs in the fields. These herbs the
sheep found a pleasing diet, to the
cost of the parrots. At first the par
rOts were threatened with starvation.
until, in desperation, they attacked
the carcasses of dead sheep lying
about in the pasturages. They soon
learned that the daintiest parts were
| the kidney. A years sheep plague
supplied them with an abundance Of
dead sheep for food, and then they
choose only the kidneys, leaving the
rest
Then the plague passed, and dead
sheep became scarce But the parrots
saw no reason why live sheep was
not as good as dead one, and they
attacked them boldly.
Thus, by an encroachment on their
means Of subsistence, birds that were
once herbivorous have become car
nivorous. According to scientists,
this will eventually cause change in
their physical appearance, their claws
and beaks will become bigger and
their feathers disappear.

None, except few dry crusts."
Dry crusts! They are far better
than we deserve. Let us have them
and thank the Lord for His great
mercy IN giving them to u.s."
AS there was cow in fthe family,
the crusts were put to soak in some
milk and placed on the hearth by the
fire, while the family had morning
prayers. During worship, a pet dos
tumbled into the now scalding milk.
Great yelping on the part of the dog
followed, and great CONSERVATION
among the children. They were
obliged to go to school without their
breakfast, nor had they any dinner.
The delinquent congregation, hearing
of the straits to which the family were
reduced, sent liberal provision before
nightfall

t h e following
story illustrates the
straits to which a
