Remarkable Bird Sense Notes From the West Coast
Veterinary surgeon Jas Runille reports on three remarkable wild bird cases. A magpie with an unusually long beak learned to beg and was fed by Mrs. Laube near Cummins. A woodpecker with a hooked beak at the Reading farm near Minnipa visits daily for hand feeding. A cockatoo parrot at Sutherlands leaves its cage each morning and returns at night, a routine witnessed by Ben Thiele.
