Birds from JSortli-east Rhodesia. 109 



They were untiring climbers, using their beaks as much as 

 their feet, and working away till they got out to the smallest 

 twigs, where they would manage to stand until a breeze 

 came. At first they had some terrible falls, but after a while 

 they managed to tumble without hurting themselves, and for 

 about a week all went well ; instead of sleeping, however, in 

 their box they chose a hole at the foot of the tree, and one 

 night a wild cat came and that was the end. 



I once saw a tlock near Feira, but could not stop to watch 

 them.
