CURIOUS ALASKAN BIRDS.
Male Ptarmigans Woo In Two Tongues
and Bully Their Mates.


The ptarmigan. an Alaskan bird. is
n wonderful imitator of man. II Bel
more Browne who contributes an ar
ticle on Alaskan game to Outing. is to
be believed. To begin with, the author
finds that the ptarmigan is q linguist
of no mean ability. The male does his
wOoing in mixed French and English:
"A pleasing side OF their mating is
the habit of the males of uttering their
call while on the wing. They COM
mence with a cultural cackle. which
they utter faster and faster until they
aligbt. when they end their song by
repeating slowly a call that sounds
like ged-up. ged-up, ged-up. ged-up or
parlez vous? parlez vous? parlez vous
as they strut proudly about"
In addition to singing in two Ian
guages, the ptarmigan conducts his
personal and domestic affairs In APP
proved fashion. Could not the follow
ing observation apply to human beings
as well as 10 this remarkable bird:
THE males fight constantly, and the
hens seem to enjoy these battles and
sit about clucking among themselves.
But once q hen has decided on a
mate she comes into her own share Of
troubles and is beaten and bullied by
the mate she has promised TO love and
obey"
