THE DIPPER FAMILY 45 
men, perch on their shoulders, and ride with 
them on their boats. I have read that in Nor- 
way, where everybody is kind to birds, they are 
not at all afraid. They will come into a barn or 
a house when the weather is cold, or they are 
hungry, and no man or boy thinks of Pee 
ing or hurting them. 
Mr. C. Lloyd Morgan has reared many birds 
by hatching the eggs in an incubator, so that 
they cannot be taught by their parents. He 
says that the birds of the wildest parents 
hatched in that way are never afraid of people 
who move quietly, or of a cat, or a quiet dog. 
Any sudden movement startles a young bird, but 
they are as much afraid of a dead leaf blown 
by the wind as they are of a hawk. It is the 
suddenness that alarms them. Some of them 
stop instantly on a sudden noise, like a sneeze or 
acough. If one foot happens to be raised to 
step, they will hold it so, and if the head is one 
side, it will stay so, exactly as if they were all 
turned to stone.
