Songbirds of great value and marvels of variety
A garbled report discusses an international bird show with a wide range of songbirds from small humming birds to vivid canaries. It notes their low prices for most species and high asks for elite birds, naming White Rose as the world's most expensive canary bullfinch and a crimson bird of paradise at $2,600 or $5,000 respectively. It also mentions German tactics in East Africa using swarms of wild bees to disrupt advancing troops, highlighting bee stings as a factor in the failed attack alongside rifles and machine guns.
