dent that meat found favor with the kea. Now 
let us consider these two traits together. Here 
is a bird equipped by nature as for a carnivor¬ 
ous diet; a bird fearless, intelligent and curious, 
with a passion for examining strange novelties 
and tearing them up if at all possible. To 
this bird one day is presented a new and inter¬ 
esting creature unlike to any known to it. The 
kea, faithful to the principles of its kind, pro¬ 
ceeds to investigate. It perches on the sheep’s 
back; as a point of almost sacred duty begins 
to tear up its wool. The point of the powerful 
beak goes a little further perhaps than the 
owner intended; and mutton fat is revealed. 
Need we follow the formation of habit further? 
Certainly, the process of investigation may 
have begun on dead sheep, but the nature of 
the bird seems to indicate that live mutton 
offered superior attractions. The observations 
of scores — hundreds — of independent witnesses 
prove that the kea enjoys the plunges and mad 
rushes of its victim and takes a cruel delight in 
its struggles to get away. 
Remains the “kidney theoj-y.” The assertion 
that the sheep’s kidneys form the kea’s real 
objective had hardened down through wide ac¬ 
ceptance into fact. Mr. Marriner, whose book 
contains every evidence of searching inquiry 
and judicial examination of fact, rejects the idea 
that the bird has any preference for the kidneys. 
On the contrary, these organs in a kea’s victim 
are usually found intact, while the fat surround¬ 
ing them is eaten away. Nor is the kidney fat 
the principal objective; the birds habitually 
work their way literally into the unfortunate 
sheep’s intestines. Sheep have been found with 
feet of gut hanging out of them as left by the 
keas. Remarkable cases have been brought be¬ 
fore men of science in which the operation 
called colotomy had been performed by the 
bird’s beak and natural repair, an artificial anus 
being formed, while the normal passage was 
atrophied from disuse. 
Some of the accounts of injuries inflicted, in 
sheer wantonness, we are compelled to believe, 
are simply horrible. Mr. Marriner says that 
the birds often “seem to delight in prolonging 
the sheep’s misery.” It is not difficult to under¬ 
stand how the “kidney theory” obtained cur¬ 
rency. The rear portion of the sheep’s back is 
the broadest and affords the, best holding 
ground when tin* tortured beast bounds and 
plunges in endeavor to shake off its foe. The 
region where the kidneys are placed happens 
to be the region most accessible from the perch 
on the rump, and moreover, has the advantage 
— to the kea—of being behind the last rib and 
unprotected by bones. Hence the bird, or 
birds, for half a dozen or. more will join in the 
attack, habitually carries out its horrible vivi¬ 
section work on that part where the carcass 
offers least resistance to the beak. The kidneys 
are sometimes mauled, but not to an extent that 
would indicate them as the special kea dainty.—
