HELPLESS BIRDS.
I was glad to read "Humanity's" letter in your Tuesday's isstie. as it exp-resses what many people feel about the lives of countless caged birds. So many of the people who wish to possess a bird lack any imagination about the feeling? of the little prisoner. In passing down some steps at the back of a house recently I was amazed at the heat of the railing, which my hand happened to touch, caused by the afternoon sun. A caged bird would 3,a ve bs'f-n in a pitiful pliant if left on the wall at the hack of that hou- ; e after the sun had moved round. Fortunatelv the bird that lives in that house had not been left to t suffer, but many caged pets are left hanging hour after hour at the mercy of the hot suu.
