Became a Bore.
Nature Notes
By James Drummond, F.L.S., F.Z.S. •4 MALE FANTAIL was so determined to be a member of a family in Eden Vale Road, Auckland, that it became a bore. Every morjiing, as soon as the bedroom window was opened, it flew in. It went to a mirror, looked at itself in the glass and sang to its reflection. A cloth waved at each end of the room, which is thirty feet long, was a signal that it was time to go. The visitor then darted out of a ‘window, but if the other window was open, in it came again. When both windows were closed to keep it out, it went to the front door, entered, flew down the passage, and into the bedroom. One morning, it brought its mate, and both entered the bedroom, through the window, which had been opened two or three inches.
