Show A traveler in Australia describes a curious cu-rious bird found in the jungles of that country. It is called the ballador or dancer, from its jumping action. Two of them were seen together ' and carefully studied. As soon as one bird alighted the other pamped up, the time being like clock-work in its regularity, and each in turn uttering a note sounding like "to-le-do," uttering the syllable "to" as he crouched to spring, "le" while in the air, and "do" as he alighted a regular song-and-dance performance. The Svd-ney Svd-ney Ornithological Society has offered a large sum for a pair of them. |
