Canaries Can't Take Off'
! Official circles in Australia are doing j their best to prevent canaries from | flying. It happens this way: When Transaustralia Airlines opened its public air service recently a request was made to send three V Tlze hen canaries from Sydney to MelI bourne. I The total freight cost for the birds ! would have been about 2/-; BUT—i It was discovered that, before the ! canaries could travel by air. authority I would have to be obtained from both j the Chief Veterinary Inspector, Live I Stock Division, Department of Agricul- | ture, Melbourne, and from a similar ! authority in Sydney. _ . | A clearance for the canaries is still awaited ... and the birds are still in Sydney, waiting to “take off."
