SNAKE BIRD MADE FINE PET.
Readily Tanned and Faithful In lite
Attachment

The snake bird is readily tanned
when taken young. The Rev. John
Bachman, who reared some of these
birds, said: my best pet was tame
from the beginning of its captivity,
and followed me about the house, the
yard and garden, until | thought It
quite troublesome, in consequence of
its peculiar attachment to me. 1t is
a fearless bird, keeping at bay the
hens aud turkeys in the yard, and
never sparing any dog that CHANGED
to pass by it, dealing blows right and
left with its sharp-polnted bill, and
occasionally posting itself in the
trough where they are fed, to prevent
them from taking a morsel Of food
until he has tantall2ed them suffici-
emily, then he leaves them to share
whatever he does not relish.
ut was not until my bird was fully
nedged that ! found it willing or
anxious to go TO the water. and then
whenever 1t saw me going toward the
pond II accompanied me as far as the
gate, seeming to say, Pray let me
co. On my opening this gate It at
once followed me, waddling like a
duck, and no sooner was it in sight
of its fayorite clement than it i'm.
mediately let itself IN, not with a
plunge or a dive, but by dropping
from a plank into the stream, where
for while it would swim like a duck.
then dipping its long neck it would
dive for the purpose of procuring fish.
This bird sleeps in the open air,
and during warm weather perches on
the house or the bars of the fence,
with its head under its wings, placed
there from above its back, and in
rainy weather 1t often sits in that
same place for nearly the whole day.
II appears to be very susceptible to
cold, retreating to the kitchen, and
near the fire, battling with the dogs
or the cooks for the most desirable
place on the hearth. Forest and
