DIssEcTs BIRD coURTSHIP
Writer Declares That This Feature OF
Feathered Life Results from
Ripe Mating Instinct.

Bird courtship, then. Is not process
of selection on the part of the females,
but Is a process of arousing the mat
ing instinct in the females on the part
of the males. doubt II there are any
conscious preferences on either side
says John Burroughs. in Atlantic
IL the female refuses the male, 1t Is
not because he does not fill her eye or
arouse her admiration, but because the
mating instinct Is not yet ripe. In
other words, the female does not ac-
cept the male because she admires him,
but because she is ready to mate.

male widowbird disowns the male wher
he Is robbed of the long tail feathers
with which he Is ornamented during
the breeding season. This was yer,
likely because this plucking broke nj
