SO MANY BIRDS.
"The .two baby canaries I told you of in; tViy'lhstlett'er, c'anio down from their'ineSt yesterday. Such'funny little things!.'- We-'have many pets hero, and could you guess who .they are? .' I will tell you all about them. The: canaries come first, of course, but long before they are awake a beautiful thrush sits \ipoa 'the topmost . twig of our pine tree, and sings with all his might, very likely to : a.'.sitting mate. • Next comes a timid little pussy cat, who ran away ■when he first saw us, but is growing a little tamer each day now. After them coino the birds, who are also very tame. A bad tempered blackbird pecks the other birds when t.iey come near him, a pair of hedge sparrows, New Zealand robins, and two little gr.y "birds with white on their wings, and who sing like locusts, and.a few cheeky sparrows.' ' And they fight and squabble so! "BARBARA.'.' Seatoun.
