Show Raven's Sharp Trick. The best talking-bird new to the big collection in the London "Zoo" is a raven who came to the aviary last year. '"Hullo! Jack!" is his favorite lemark, and it is the voice of one sho meets au unworthy friend. Soon after he arrived he used his conversational conver-sational powers with great effect upon a lammergeier who shares his cage (relates the London Spectator). The lammergeier had a piece of meat which the raven desired, but he was unwilling to surrender it. The raven hopped up. "Hullo! Jack!" he began, and the lammergeier, aghast at the voice of man, dropped his dinner and fled. But the lammergeier as a7er a bird of much spirit. |
