MALE SOUTH AFRICAN OSTRICH AND HIS MATE 

 en was forcibly ted by band for six weeks, during a period of inactivity. 



considerable personal risk, he commenced a sys- 

 tem of forcible feeding, shoving bolus after bo- 

 lus of food wrapped in lettuce leaves down the 

 unwilling throat of the bird. For over six 

 weeks this curious treatment continued, the os- 

 trich finalh' becoming so accustomed to hand- 

 ling that he ceased to resist. On February ti, 

 1915, he first evinced a willingness to feed for 

 himself, and soon was taking his normal ration. 

 Throughout the entire period, the bird was 

 kept in an unheated enclosure, and forced to 

 take active daily exercise in an outdoor run. 

 We were unable to detect the slightest further 

 symptoms of internal trouble, but there is no 

 doubt that the ostrich owes his present excellent 

 health to the perseverance of his keeper.
