Sept 9, 1929 At 9.20 a white mouse weighing 12.0g was placed in the cage. Quick killing and impaling followed — he seemed hungry. Having had only a little frog meat yesterday evening. Christine and Alf were eating. Only a small part of the mouse remained after lunch 1 o'clock. Pellets were not found until about 3 o'clock when one was seen to be spit up after he had started to swallow some dove meat just then given him. The meat was well in his throat, a small piece too — then it was suddenly ejected to feuch or impaling hook of them spit up pellet. At this time another fresh pellet was discovered in cage. The bird at once proceeded to gulp the originally swallowed pellet and then an average other pieces. At four o'clock a number if rather carefully broken and bars force given and at 5.15 — a poorly formed pellet containing thiam was found — very fresh. Total weight of bowl meat fed was 6 grams. 1.7 grams of pellets ejected plus 0.2 g of bone — wheat straw. At this at 5.20 PM, 522 — a 7.6 gp [illegible] placed in cage — killed almost immediately with just jab of beak. There was no hesitation and although mouse moved slowly he jumped with assurance and rapidity.
