different kind of talk than she has used before. She ate soft food and when I held the box of worms out to her, she threw out all of the bran with side sweeps of her bill back and forth, rapping the side of the box at the end of the stroke. After eating all the worms she picked up a twig about three feet away, considered it for a time and the dropped it. She picked up one or two more and dropped them.

They then showed interest in the surrounding trees, walking under them and looking up into the branches and then one of them climbed up into it.

If they run true to form, they will not attempt to keep its location secret. The incubating period of the first egg was not less than 13 days and not more than 15 days.
