(526) youngsters jumped out and tried to get to her, following her as she retreated, about 6 or 8 feet, and while she would take worms from me, she showed no sign of an intention to feed the young. I then dropped worms in front of the latter, so that G, in order to get them, would have to approach them within a few inches. This she did, but was hostile toward them and, at last, pecked one of them as it approached her, so that it cried out. I thought that was enough for time being, so gathered up the youngsters who were again hungry. Preference for shade. 11:30 (Temp. 61. Forty feet away, in the cloister which is entirely- ly open to the south 72) The little birds are in the cloister. When given their choice of location, they crawl into the shade. Brownie came to me in the glade as tame as ever; G was absent. Young interested in external world. 12:05. The young birds are becoming much interested in surrounding- objects, both being equally curious, pecking at things and appearing to study me at times as if to determine just what place I occupy Faulty judgment of distance. in the general scheme. Their judgment of distance is ludicrously faulty. One little fellow was making pecks out into the empty air at spots in my necktie, as I determined by later test, about 6 inches away. When I show them the box of worms they seem much interested in the commotion they cause in the bran and peck gently at them, failing far short. They do not seem to recognize them as articles of food as distinguished from other objects. Their mouths are now mostly pink inside instead of yellow, though the two birds differ in respect to hue, one being paler and yellower. Mouths no longer yellow. Intolerance of direct sun. 1:07. (Temp. in cloister 73). With this air temperature, in the shade, the young bird will not tolerate the direct rays of the sun for more than 2 or 3 minutes before hunting shady spots. Even where the temperature is 10 degrees lower, they still seek the shade. "Noisy", though, like the other, now very quiet, is still the larger bird in all respects. He seems to have recovered from the dumps completely, but he is not quite so active as the other.
