S.A. zoo BIRDS
JEALOUS Of
PEACOCKS
Scores ofWinged Creatures
Inhabit Breckenridge
Park Confines.

Scores Of birds from as many lands,
with the powerful American eagle as
their king, inhabit the Breckenridge
park zoo.
The winged creatures are ever vie
ing with the others for the attention
Of the tourist.
However, there is rarely ever any
contention over the amount Of notice
they receive.
Interest Of the tourist usually cen
tiers in the water birds.
Twenty-Five ducks, a number of
cranes and swans swim back and forth
in the winding San Antonio river to
the delight of the visitor.
1t is generally conceded the water
fowls have the easiest lives.
This is especially so during the hot
weather, according to pair of owls,
which must sleep during the day in
order to do their duty as sentinels at
night.
The ducks, cranes and swans are
fed in the morning and evening.
Their meals, like all other birds,
consist Of mixed grains.
The grains are tossed in the water
and the birds plunge downward to the
delight of the onlookers.
All of the Breckenridge park birds
are more than a little envious of the
two peacocks, constantly the recipients
of compliments.
The pigelns, Of which no count has
been taken, are the largest in number.
Other birds in the zoo are:
Four ring neck pheasants, two
white pheasants, three silver pleas
ants, one Reeves pheasant, seventeen
canaries, four pelicans, one Mexican
eagle, ten hawk eagles, four kites,
eleven bob whites, nine California quail
and large number Of doves and tur-
