 •S\l\\ ion b BOWER-EiRD. 

 This is. perhaps, the moat remarl^able of all the Bower-birds in its habits. It piles up sticks and twigs against two neigh- 

 bouring trees, adding to them until they meet. In old erections one pile is several feet higher than the other, and may be nine 

 feet high: all the work of bird no bigger than a thrush.
