Kea
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

Here is a member of the famous
parrot tribe that has fallen from
grace. In fact. it is the black sheep.
Parrots as we know them have been
taught by man to do some things no
self-respecting parrot would do nat
urally. We also realize that these
birds are quick to learn new tricks
and enjoy being around their hu-
man brothers and their way OF liv-
ing. But parrot, to develop of
its own volition into a bandit and
have such a cruel way of making
its living, Is still an unsolved riddle.
Keas are not so beautifully COL
ored as their cousins. They are
clothed in a general green color pat
tern, rather deep shade tinged
with olive and heavily marked with
rich black.
The rather slender bill is crossed

at the tip. 1t is horn-colored and
very. very strong This is its instru-
ment Of death. for by means Of it
animals are killed. The keas have
strangely enough learned to band
together when they wish to attack
large animal.
The kea is also known as the
mountain neStor. 1t is from the
South Island of New Zealand and
lives in the mountains during the
summer months, coming down to
the lowlands to spend the winter
During the time the kea was nv-
ing a normal life, which its an
cestors had found acceptable fof
centuries, it was we'll satisfied with
the food that 1t found in abundance
about 1t. This food consisted of
juicy insects.
However. sheep were introduced
into this territory and the keas, in
stead Of pursuing the even tenor
Of their ways, changed completely
their mode of making a living. No
longer are they well-behaved birds,
seeking the gay and giddy insects
that swarm over the ground, but
they have with one accord formed

A party Of keas will meet at q

plan an attack. They wait until q

The whole flock will pursue an
animal and torment 1t until 1t is
completely exhausted. Then they
settle upon the poor thing. puncture
it through the back with their sharp
beaks, finally reaching the intestines
which are BADLY wounded. OF
course, the death of the sheep fol-
lows shortly.
When a herder finds he has to
protect his sheep from the keas,
he also calls In assistance, and no
mercy Is shown these bloodthirsty
bandits of the parrot clan. The keas
are canny when they find they are
getting the reaction from their be-
havior. They slow up and act quite

Motorists Warned
Of Poor Visibility

There are two outstanding factors
In most OF the pedestrian fatalities
during the winter months. One is
poor visibility due to early dusk
and longer periods OF darkness with
rain and snow as an additional haz-
ard. The other Is the fact that per-
sons on foot do no realize that
when crossing the street at night
time. they present nothing more
than deep shadow that Is very
difficult TO notice on the roadway
when not directly in the beam OF a
headlight.
When you consider that most pc
dcstrians killed by automobiles have
never driven car-then certainly
we must educate those who do not
drive to cross the street only when
cars are far enough away TO per-
init them TO make a complete cross
ing. We can see the cars easily
enough, but can the drivers OF
these cars see us?
In December last year, twenty
four pedestrians were killed on the
streets OF Detroit. Up to November
30th this year. we have had exact
ly the same number OF persons kill
ed as for the same period last year
-one hundred sixty-three.
II we are to show a reduction In
accidents for the year 1889, we must
do 1t in this last month.
When walking we have to use
the utmost caution. Pedestrians
should NEVER place themselves in
position where IL Is doubtful II a
driver can see them. BE SURE
AND BE ALIVE.

lice department.
