Canary Babies
7") EAR ANNE SHIRLEY,—At home -*■ we have seven young canaries, which are just covered with feathers. All day long I see their mothers and fathers feeding them. There is one very greedy fellow who. whenever he sees food coming, half pushes the other two in the uest out of his way, so he can be the first to be fed. Of course he is the biggest, for he receives most food. He is so big, he will soon be learing the nest. . He is rery cheeky too. When any of us go near the nest lie crouches down and can hardly be seen, but as we leave he gradually rises again abore the level of the top'of the nest and sometimes just about falls out. Everywhere I go I hear baby birds, such as sparrows, baby white-eyes or grey warblers. .1 like to hear them. The more the better I think.—Yours sincerely, Mavis Miehie, Ivaitaiu.
