90 Bower-Birds. 



there were several newly -picked leaves and young 

 shoots of a pinkish colour, the whole showing a 

 decided taste for the beautiful." In comparison 

 with these the bowers made by the birds at the 

 Zoo of birch twigs cut from an old broom and 

 decorated with pieces of oyster shell are much 

 what a heap of dry bones is to a living animal 

 nevertheless, such as they are, they are very 

 interesting and well worth a visit.
