(524) "Noisy" seems feeding Noisy, who has been eating less than the other and is not so lively, did not open his bill for food and looked dull. I decided to give him a forced-feed of chopped meal-worms, which was done. At 9:30 Brownie came running for worms in the glade, but G was not seen at that time. 11:40 A.M. The forced feeding of the youngster seems to have liv- ened him up, and since that time he has taken food almost as freely as the other one. At about 11 I carried them out into the direct sun in the cloister, exposing them to the sun but a few moments. Instantly both performed the antics of the adult birds when they "do sun-fits". Each raised one wing on the sunward side, turned partly over on the other side, opened their bills and began to breathe rapidly and caused their nictitating membranes to flutter. (The first time these membranes have been seen on these two birds). With contracted pupils, it was evident that both birds have irides of a dusky brown, deeper in shade than Greenie's, with none of the orange of Brownie's. The pupils in direct sun appear dark with a bluish fluorescence, like the bloom on a grape. The natal down is attached to the very tips of the growing feathers. The upper eyelids are movable, apparently voluntarily, though the range of movement appears to be less than the lower lids have. They can not really walk, though they can stand up momentarily. Length 5 inches. They were measured in repose (without necks stretched out) and are less than 5 inches long from tip of bill to tip of tail. Unafraid. When held in the hand they do not try to escape, but are content- ed to preen and nap. They are almost silent. Average age, approximately 18 days. They appear less advanced than other broods. At 12:15 B&G were loafing in the bushes in the glade. G was the first to come forward for worms but B came with a rush and won on the first offering. After that, they came alternately. Then B
