A woman ornithologist tells of a iparrow that was born blind, without sny appnrcnt eyes: "It waa found, evidently fallen from a nest, and was ted and put into a greenhouse with a broken pane, through which tho par snts could, If they would, visit It. Doth old birds were promptly on the ipot, feeding It assiduously. It waa missing one day, but has returnod to Its kind friends, who supplement' the parental feeding. It hops about and makes ita whereabouts apparent by the ordinary little "chirp, chirp" of young birds. It may be imagination that notices a plaintive ring In the sound. In my long experience of oral thology I have nevor met with a aim-tlar aim-tlar case." - . |
