The coekatoo's Nuteraeksr Bill.

There is a wonderful cockatoo In
one of the islands OF the Indian ocean,
near New Guinea. 1t is as large as q
full grown pheasant, and 1t is OF a Jet
black color. The bird is remarkable for
its immensely strong bill and the clev-
er manner In which it is used. The bill
is as hard as steel, and the upper part
has a deep notch. Now. the favorite
food Of this cockatoo is the canary nut
but there is wonderful ingenuity re-
quired to get at It, for the nut is some
thing like a Brazil nut. but 1t is ten
times as hard. In fact, 1t requires the
blow Of a heavy hammer to crack it
II is quite smooth and somewhat trian,
gular in shape. Nature appears to have
given the possessor Of the wonderful
bill some intelligence to direct its pow
ers. for the cockatoo takes one OF the
nuts edgewise in its bill and by a carv.
ing motion of its sharp lower beak
makes a small notch on IT. This done.
the bird takes hold of the nut with its
claws and, biting of a piece OF leaf,
retains II in the deep notch OF the up.
per part Of the bill. Then the nut Is
seized between the upper and lower
parts Of the bill and is prevented slip
ping by the peculiar texture OF the leaf
A sharp nip or two break of a tiny
piece OF the shell Of the nut. The bird
then seizes the nut in It's claws and
pokes the long. sharp point Of its bill
into the hole and picks out the keree
nit by bit.
