Bird Playmates 



Bird Playmates is an educational device 

 for identifying, naming, and locating our 

 friends, the common birds. 

 ^ It consists of a scenic background and life- 

 like models of birds in natural colors. The 

 birds placed on the backgrounds form a 

 beautiful picture. 



^ By the use of a background of natural 

 scenery the birds, which are adjustable, may 

 be so located and arranged as to produce the 

 effect of living birds in their familiar haunts. 

 ^ For the first time the actual color of^ birds 

 in life has been printed.

The Bird 



Is Astonishingly 



Interesting 



But so is the tree or shrub, the 

 insects on which the bird feeds, 

 the rock on which you sit; yes, even 

 the joy and pathos of the call of the 

 owl and whippoorwill are enhanced 

 by the stars. 



ALL nature is our theme.
