Ba sh les Br CU4e AND met SST The Birds of 19433 Mr. Hill, and other guests of the class of 1943 and a half: Classical High School is noted for many, many things, but few people realize that Classical this year has had, on the third floor, in a big cage called 323 — an aviary. Briefly, I, the keeper of this ornithological zoo, shall tell you something about these birds of 1943 and a half. 1 quote, ‘Birds are the most active animals in exist- ence because their energy is available through the oxidation of relatively more food than most animals consume.” End of quote. The excess energy of the birds of 323 is obtained through the surreptitious consump- tion of sandwiches behind upturned desk covers during home room periods. These Classical birds are a motley flock. Many are game birds, and we have one or two flycatchers, and several larks; but chickadees and blue-jays are in the majority. John Kieran in his little book, ‘Nature Notes,’ speaks of the cheerfulness and friendliness of the chickadees, and he surmises that suet is their favorite food. How true! My little chickadees are cer- tainly ever friendly and cheerful, and they’re always chewing the fat! My bluejays are very handsome and dashing, but, oh, so noisy! We have a few night birds. Some of these are wise young owls that stay up nights gaining more wisdom. They have been a source of great pleasure to me be- cause of their erudition, and their calm, quiet dignity. The other nocturnal birds are nighthawks that usually come winging back to their perches anywhere from nine-one a. m. to ten-one a. m. Sometimes, I’m sorry to say, they stay away all day. And how I| miss them! One of the most mysterious instincts of birds is that which controls their migrations; and some of these Classical birds are well provided with that instinct. | suspect that they have frequently migrated to Hull Dobbs, Cupid’s Inn, ‘and other foreign feeding stations, when they should have been down in our own Classical sanctuary. Many birds have the remarkable ability to change the color of their feathers at certain times. Last Friday night these birds did something more spectacular. They took on the plumage of bluebirds, cardinals, flamingoes, peacocks, white herons, and — PENGUINS! One authority on birds claims that bird study is a delightful challenge. I heartily agree with him, although, sometimes, in the midst of the twittering, cackling, and squawking, I have thought that at this dinner I would have to sing a Swan Song. But, now that | have sur- vived without having developed into a common loon, or gone cuckoo — | realize that | have been in charge of a flock of grand birds. We have not had any shrikes, vultures, buzzards, or stormy petrels in our Aviary, and we have had a fine eaglet as leader of the flock. And so, my only regret is that I did not have a pair of good field glasses to see more of what was going on in the bird cage of 323. EILEEN FitTzGERALD. Oooooo0 !
