Make Pets Of t1nrnhlIls.

The yellow hornblll, one of the most
interesting Of the species, is a COM
paratively fearless bird and Is easily
killed. The male is fond Of perching
on the tiptop of tropical trees and
making a noise like young puppy.
The natives In Africa find young
hornbills easily tanned. They dig the
birds out Of the tree nests when quite
young and raise them on milk and
berries In their huts. When grown
the hornbill remains attached to its
foster parents and will eat out of the
same dishes. Left free, the hornbill
comes and goes much as does a pet
crow and remains about the hut un-
til the first mating season, when 1t
goes away with one Of Its kind, rare
ly to return.
