A notable demonstration of bird instinct was witnessed by rundreds of people in High Street, Aldershot, recently. A large martin became imprisoned in a crevice of the highest point of some business premises, and hung suspended on the wall. Three other swifts promptly fastened themselves upon the prisoner, and by dint of pecking and pulling, succeeded, after a two-hours’ struggle, in. delcasing their mate. Dozens of birds flew in distressed circles round the resellers.
