New York.-Quite the most popu-

this summer is Virginia Pope's Bird
club, at 40 West Sixty-fifth street.
They counted up to the tooth bird that
had arrived the other day, and then
1t took so much time to serve bird
seed, meal worms, boiled eggs and
baked apples for the little guests that
they stopped counting, and no one
knows how many birds there are now
three floors and basement of them,
including bird comic opera troupe.
It'is very chatty place, this bird
club, and when a reporter dropped in
a gay voice said "Hello!" cheerfully
and then began in a clear voice to
sing:
Yankee Doodle came to town riding on
a pony,
Stuck feather in his hat and called
it Macaroni.
The nonchalant reception of guest
was in keeping with the character Of
the singer, who is one of the aristo-
Gratis of the club. He IS Mexican
yellow head parrot, wonderful bird
one in 10000, worth many thousands
Of dollars; there have never been a
dozen so valuable in the country, and
his mistress would not take any price
for him. Polly is patriotic in his mus
ical selections; he sings Marching
Through Georgia" and shouts "Vive
ia France" and if you knew his mis-
tress you would know where he learn
ed the sentiments, for he speaks ex-
actly in her voice. Polly also knows
his primer and if he happens to be
in a showing-off mood he will ask /:
"Can you spell cat? can spell cat
cat, cat" He will do the same with
the word dog and wind up with:
what does the canary doT and
with twitter and trills he will show
how the canary sings
An Acrobatic cockatoo.
But the talented Mexican is not the
greatest bird socially in the club if he
is worth in cold cash at least $4,000.

he Is likely to take bite in earnest,
though he rubs his head gently against

ears and fingers, but ever so gently.
He Is a conceited creature and poses
for admiration openly. He does gym
nastic stunts on chair, and to attract
your attention and show you how he

in voice that is astonishingly human.
He can converse fiuently in both
French and Spanish.
While the club has it's greatest num-
Der of visitors in summer 1t is Sn all
the-year-round affair and takes in not
only boarders, but hospital patients,
birds that have bad manners, and
others for one reason or another. Miss
Virginia Pope was the first woman to
put the bird club and hospital on the
map. She has wonderful fondness
for the little creatures, birds having
been her favorite pets from the time
she was little girl, and she has re-
markable control over them and they
seem to have absolute confidence in
her. When she has taken in a sick
bird that needs constant care and
warmth she has been known to take
it to bed with her and with 1t lying up
close to her throat she has cared for it
all night, ready to attend to its Slight
est need.
Birds Are TemperamentaI.
"Give the birds something to amuse
them," says Miss Pope, especially the
parrots; clothes pins, buckle with a
strap, a key on ring. or little bell,
and one parrot has been known to
go to sleep with a little china doll in
it's claw, like a child Toys keep them
from pulling out their plumage.
Birds are very temperamental. l

suade to take bath. 1t fiuttered its
wings and appeared very angry and

brought the water in very gay-col-
ored little dish. l was surprised to
see it hop down to it quickly and there
was never again trouble with that lit
tie birds baths. The little tramp, as
l had called it, became a clean little
gentleman"
Birds go to the club sometimes to
learn good table manners. Some of
them are very naughty about scatter
ing seed out of the dishes onto the
floor. 1t is bad habit which can be
