TWO MORE TAME ROOKS.
Ito ran EDITOR or nes " SPECT.011."1 SIE,-111 the spring of 1998 I brought up two young rooks who bad been blown out of their nests. When they were able to fly they were always free to come and go as they pleased. Both came evtry day several times to be fed, and expressed their satisfaction with their food very volubly. In July they followed me to church one Sunday, and on being told they could not come in "Tweezer" was hurt and appeared 110 more. " Wheezer," however, was faithful, and one day in August, when we were playing tennis, a fight of rooks went overhead, and to the astonishment of all he anowered my call and settled at my feet. He used to fill his crop as full as possible, and, I presume, carried some food to his friends. Ho continued his daily visits till late in September, when Ohm a thunderstorm, which mode food easy to get, lie
too appeared no more.—I am, Sir, Ac., W. FARREL Bisham Vicarage, Marlow.
