Text Appearing Before Image:
s going on around him, he rarely allows any-thing to unduly disturb him, and views the approach of strangerswith the utmost indifference. He stands a long and tiring trainjourney like an old campaigner, and when I unpack him on hisreturn from his travels, he invariably greets me with a friendlysquawk before climbing soberly back into his cage again. Hehas a great idea of his own importance, and insists on being fedfirst. As he requires fruit, sunflower seed, and sop food, hisdejeuner necessarily takes some little time to prepare, but until allhis needs are supplied he keeps up an ear-piercing whistle, whichundoubtedly has a great deal to do with bringing about thedesired result. If another bird is fed first he shows temper andscreeches abominably. Possibly he thinks the occasion warrantsit. At ordinary times he has a loud clear call, is a very fairmimic, and with his beautiful colour (a deep rich crimson) andintelligent ways is certainly an acquisition to the aviaries. BlKD N o T S s.
