GRAND CANYON HAS
SOME WISE BIRDS

How intelligent is robin? Per-
haps a pair of the most intelligent
western robins make their home at
the Grand Canyon national park.
Dry weather had prevailed for sew
eral weeks. A pair wished to build
their nest, but found the long needles
of the western yellow wine a little
stiff, and difficult to weave. Water
is rather scarce for bird life on the
south rim of the canyon so many of
the government employees provide
drinking fountains for their feathercd
friends. The robins evidently knew
from past experience or perhaps in
stinct that wet needles were more
pliable than dry At any rate, the
birds flew to the fountains and dipped
the needles, giving several swish
es of the head so as to thoroughly
moisten them. After being assured
of their pliability the robins would
fly to the upper branches of Utah
juniper and carefully lay the corner
stones of their home.
In order that this action should not
be mistaken for accident, the pair
were watched throughout the day.
Except during the middle of the day
when the robins desisted from their
industrious occupation, the incident
was repeated with great precision.
