THE WAYS OF BIRDS.

Among the many bird pets have
owned at different times owls have
always been my favorites. At present
I have three taBny owls. which I
have reared from the nest. Two T
took from an old hawks nest and one
from a hole in the wall of a tumble.
down cottage.
They have been brought up in Com
pany with several other bird pets,
when quite young it was an exceed
ingly pretty sight to see them all to-
gether on a perch, the owls watch
ing the proceedings of the "jacks" and
inagpies with an air of absorbing in
terest
the perch and give one of the tawnies
friendly dig with his beak-as
though he wanted to say: wake up,
old fellow!"
Whereupon the owl would proceed
with great gravity to comb the dis
turber's plumage with beak and claw,
occasionally pausing during the oper-
alton to survey his work out OF Aalf
open eye, Jack" the while, winking
at his mates below with the air Of:
Its all right; it pleases the old duff
fer"
Barn owls, also, have domesticat
ed, and have found them very anus
ing pets. I had one which would fly
down in broad daylight from his cage
and catch a live mouse, and back
again to make a meal of it, swallow
ing it whole by succession Of fear
full gulps.
I have seen him swallow three in
succession and have no doubt that
had he been offered fourth he would
have been equal to the occasion. In
credible as it may seem to those who
have never witnessed the feat, he
would think nothing of devouring a
sparrow, feathers and all.-Rosary
