An aeroplane was specially chartered to carry a stork from Europe to Africa. The stork, owing to slight injuries to its wing, had to make a “forced landing” when it was migrating to Africa for the winter. The Belgrade branch of the Yugoslav Society for the Protection of Animals decided that the stork would perish if it remained in Belgrade and therefore it arranged to have it sent by special aeroplane to Constantinople. ■ A letter accompanied the bird, addressed to the Turkish Society for the Protection of Animals, begging it, “in the name of humanity,” to help it to catch up with its fellow storks. A hamper of frogs and other delicacies was carried on board in order to make the stork’s journey as agreeable as possible.
