Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     A woman in Minneapolis tells a curious story of bird life which shows a phase of sociability in a wild bird’s make-up. She has always fed the birds in winter weather, and never allowed them disturbed on her premises. She had a fine canary, which, in pleasant weather, always had a window from which it hung. One day hearing strange bird voices she looked up from her seat and saw a catbird trying to induce the canary to eat a worm it had brought for it. By dint of coaxing and feeding the wild bird she finally induced it to come often to the window, and one day, while sitting on the porch, the catbird brought a berry for her and tried to put it in her mouth.
