A pair of emus at Whipsuade, London’s open-pir zoo, decided at the beginning of the year, in spite of the wintry weather, to arrange for raising a family. The hen bird commenced to lay and the authorities took action when two eggs were in the nest. Incubation is carried out by the male bird entirely, but be refuses to take up his duties until the hen partner has finished laying-the customary eight or nine eggs. Normally the bird would be taking no risk in waiting, but winter conditions at Whipsuade are out of the ordinary. The 'authorities therefore decided ;o practise a temporary deception on the emu. The eggs were surreptitiously re. moved as they were laid and stored in warm surroundings, and emu eggshells filled with plaster of Paris were substituted. This “dummy" sitting was to be added to until the male bird decided to become broody, when the eggs wereto be smuggled back into the nest.
