one would give vent to a squawk, which would suggest 
that he had come upon a family of this bird’s poor 
relations, the Noisy Miner, or “Mickey,” as we know him. 
Like “Mickeys,” they are gregarious, one could not 
imagine a Bell Bird concert given as a solo, whether they 
share any of the Noisy Miner’s mischievious habits, how- 
ever, I am not in a position to say, just at present. 
I much regret that I can do little more than report 
the existence of this particular colony for the benefit of 
those interested. I hope on some future occasion, to visit 
these birds again, and make a further study of their 
domestic affairs. Meanwhile, I can only support what has 
already been said about this remarkable bird, and hope 
that the ring of the Bell Bird will long continue to en- 
hance the natural beauty of the Conondale Range.
