'rttrN1'rx' co1.1.EG1s scnoot RECORD. 7 HD? llmwh ZlBfll. N A Pm-.vrous number of the Rrzcoito mention was made of my hawk Bill, and if the writer of that article will communicate with me, I will send him a copy of the book I intend to publish in twenty years or so entitled Birds of Canada. The chapter about the red-tailed hawk refers to Bill, and as he spent three years in 'l'. C. S. you may find space for him in the RECORD. The first time I saw him he was flying over the woods near my home in Newcastle carrying a wild pigeon in his claws. I hred and broke his wing and the pigeon flew away. I took him home and applied splints to the broken bone 5 in a month he could fly, and during that month all his wild nature disappeared 5 be sat on the back of the car seat when I went to Port Hope, and he made his first appearance at T. C. S. on September 19th, 1875. The first night he was put into a room at the back of the Head Master's house. I did not notice a big black cat in the room because it was dark, but in the morning the Gilt was dead. and half eaten. Bill looked very proud and his crop was full 3 when hungry he always made a noise like the squeaking ofa mouse, but when his crop was full his voice sounded like the grunting of a pig. On one occasion I saw him carry a piece of bread in his mouth to the room, as he never ate bread I watched him through the window. I-Ie put the bread on the floor and tlew up to his perch, for half an hour he did not move but kept his eyes fixed on the bread. 'l'hen an excited look came over him fhe always raised the feath- ers on his head when excitedly I looked down at the bread on the floor: there were two mice nibbling at it 5 they were so close together that the hawk caught them both in one claw and carried them up to his perch, where he spread out his wings and tail and devoured both the mice. On two or three occasions other boys witnessed Bill enticing mice from their holes with bread. I used Bill's room for stufting birds, and several of the other boys took lessons from me. One day we missed a stuffed bird and Bill proved the culprit. Ioffered him some meat, but before eating it he opened his mouth and ejected a round ball of feathers about two inches in diameter, it was quite dry 3 we tore it open and found that he had digested all the quills of the feathers and the skin 3 in the centre of the the ball were the glass eyes. It was fortunate that I had not applied the arsenical soap to cure the skin, otherwise Bill would not have lived as he did to amuse the T. C. S. boys for three years. I had him for five years after I left the schoolg he was then accidentally shot by a sportsman who did not know he was a tame bird. I stuff- ed him and he is looking down at me with his glass eyes as I sit in my surgery writing this account of thirty years ago. ALFRED FARNCOMB. G. T. Hamilton isa Lieutenant of the 35th Battery stationed at present in Ireland.
