The LVre Bird,

The fully developed male Tyre bird
is one of the most handsome and nota-
BILE of the forms of bird life of Queens
land. The contour of the bird, with
its long neck and stout gallinaceOus
feet, is by no means unlike that of a
peacock, and the wonderful tail, pos.
sessed only by the male birds, fulflls
a corresponding role of vain display.
The bird executes antics for a train
of female admirers on a raised earth
en- mound. For short period of the
year, about January. the Tyre bird loses
its characteristic plumes and has to be
content with the sober plumage of it's
mate.
