Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. 1S.-Martin
Holts, AN American, who established
a parrot ranch near Victoria, Mexico
a. few years ago, has met with wonder
full success and has accumulated for
tune in. the business. 1t is probably
the only parrot ranch in the world. 1t
is certainly the only one in Mexico.
Holts was employed for several years
as passenger conductor on the old
Monterey and Mexican Gulf railroad,
now a part of the Mexican Central
system. His division was between
Victoria and the port of Tampico, OH
the gulf coast, through the heart of
the parrot country.
He always was interested in the
bright colored birds, and, while run.
ming as conductor, he collected many
of them and taught them to speak
English. There were many tourists
travelling up and down his line, and
he did good side business by selling
the birds to Americans and others.
He then purchased a large tract of
forest land near Victoria, which was
teeming with wild parrots He fitted
up the ranch in a unique way, Wire
netting was placed around and over
the trees, and the birds were confined
therein.
1t is in teaching the parrots to talk
that Holts has made a unique success.
He is a linguist speaking English,
Spanish, French and German fluently.
He divided his flock of several thou
sand birds into four classes, one for
each language He then took a few
birds from each class and set to work
to teach them to talk. At the end of
a few months Holts had taught num-
Der OF birds English. Spanish, German
and French, and the educated birds
We're placed in their respective sec
tionS.
It was Holts' theory that by doing
this the educated birds would teach
their companions to talk. His hopes
were realized to the fullest extent He
says that at the end of the first year
he had several hundred educated par
rotS.
These educated birds have been
taught to carry on a conversation with
each other. This conversation. in
which each bird knows his part
thoroughly, covers nearly thirty min
utes of time.

there lay a big, silvery opossum, full
