Bird Ghost Story From The London Athenaeum
The London Athenaeum notes a book on birds and recalls a tale of a canary that died while eating. After burial the surviving mate was removed, the breeding cage cleaned with acid, yet no bird could endure staying in that cage. Birds fought, huddled, and showed deep distress, leading to cessation of further attempts to place any bird there.
