Anybody lost a parrot?
People returning from work at
about o'clock Thursday evening were
attracted, at the corner of Third street
end Quinton boulevard, by the shrieks
and chatter of an excited parrot First
the sound seemed to come from afar,
and then it would break out directly
verhead-'mam-m - hello Poll
cr-e-e-k-ar-r-r-r-kt' A crowd of
small boys armed with air guns and
stones came running up the street
There he is now. You can get him
from here" they would yell
Sure enough, there was Poll perched
or TIE very topmost branch of
graceful cottonwood. looking for all
the world like the final ornament on
a Christmas tree, yelling defiance at
its tormentors with all the power of its
lusty lungs. The stones flew and the
bullets swished, and the bird, evident
iy believing in safety first" imrne-
diately sought refuge in prolonged
flight. And when last seen, it was
whizzing over the roofs of Kenwood
with the speed and strength of a fowl
of the Amazon forests.
why did you want to shoot the
parrot?" the boys were asked
"Oh, We didn't want to kill him, we
only want to hit him in the wing so
that he can't fly" they replied.

from thirty-four inches to three-quar-
tiers length
