(322) doubtless do as much, if not more, damage than his parents. He is going about by himself now and does not seek his parents. This morning one of them was seen to run up to him and threaten him rather mildly, but he stood his ground and the older bird retired. Greenie is singing his sub-song more frequently now. I can see no difference between his and Brownie's, except, perhaps that he uses the pit-yurki or pityurkit phrase a little oftener. He seems tamer than he has been at any time preceding his taking over the sole task of feeding Snooty. That job made him come to me oftener for food and in that way he became more used to me.

He watched them narrowly and was hopping from limb to limb toward me, and I am sure, considered flying down to light on my hands held out to him, as he kept working toward them, when he suddenly stopped and look-
