Sparrows which frequent the vehicular ferries on the Auckland harbour know how to obtain a meal of flies, bees, moths, and all kinds of insects without great exertion on their own part. Dead insects are to be found in the honeycombing of the ! radiator of almost every motorvehicle, and the birds have learned that this food is always available. The sparrows wait until a driver has stopped the engine of his machine, and then dart out to pick morsels from the radiator.
