KEAS (PARROTS) OF NEW ZEALAND, ATTACKING SHEEP 



(One of the many smaller pictures in The Osprey.) 



THE OSPREY 





Is an established popular monthly which has taken 

 the highest place in its field. It has unequaled 

 opportunities for securing valuable and interesting 

 contributions, through its close relations with most 

 of the leading ornithologists, and all of, the active 

 field naturalists, of America. Not equaled in excell- 

 ence of illustrations and make-up. 



From a Grand=daughter of the Great Audubon : 



" It is a beautiful magazine, and we all enjoy it very much. It is delight- 

 ful for those who, like ourselves, love the birds yet are not ornithologists (though 

 I suppose we ought to be). After our immediate family have read and admired 

 it, I lend it to the village library, where it is eagerly sought for, and I hope will 

 interest our boys and young men sufficiently to induce them to protect rather 

 than destroy the birds ; even those who do not care so much for natural history 

 are attracted by the beautiful pictures. With every wish for the success of so 

 attractive a publication, I am very truly yours, M. R. Audubon." 



Its average circulation since its first issue has been GREATER than that 

 of any other published for Ornithology.
