or sutrrs in a silver birch tree at the home of ur and mrs aeortfc chaplin on murdock itrrcl the nest is built just where the branches itart to break away from the main trunk and iincc the tree is fairly young the nest is plain ly viible from the ground in fart seeing persistent flashr of white in thr nest drew the chaplins atten tion to it and piqued their curiosity the robins nested there last year as they seem lo know they arc bring well protected in what would normal ly seem a fairly vulnerable location to protect the nest from rain mr chaplin hat put up a little tin roof and to protect it from cats he has en closed the upper part of the tree- trunk wih tin sheeting no wonder the parent birdi feci quite confident as they keep up their craseless coming and gotngi with food for their fledj imgi 0 as we watched the mother bird arrived with a choice mor sel for her brood we won dercd if her normal children would re ceive preferred treatment but if any thing the oild one is favoured he got that tid bit anyway and he n fully as large and strong as his broth ers and sisters we wonder how he will fare when he is out on his own would the other robins associate with him or would he be a sort of outcast per haps some of our readers who have bird watching for a hobby could tell us anyway by now we expect the nest is empty and the parent robins must be relieved the job of feeding four birds almost as big as they are themselves must almost exhaust them they certainly treated their changeling offspring well and it is to he hoped mother nature will allow his fellow creatures in birdland to do likewise he is a very pretty thing to see 0 some of our reader friends miht accuse us this i he pretty girls shown above arent incluclfgim part of the wiiv rwm ipcxu tle

were going to tell ou some more about the racing pigeons we mentioned last week re member we wondered just hgw ike race was timed at the pigeons home base it turned out that we didnt have to write away for infor mation on the subject after all mr a grant of stewarttown phoned us the other day and told us that he used to be a member of a racing club when he lived in toronto so we learned that each club has a pigeon lift and a trap when the pigeons start a race they are banded by club officials over their identifica tion bands put in when pigeons are hatched and timed with a timing clock made specially for racing pig eons this clock is let and scaled at the club by race officials and when the pigeons return the time band is taken from their legs and slid thro a slot in the clock the clock com putrs their flying lime per yard per minute and of course the fastest bird wins a good bird with favour able tall winds can fly 60 miles an hour or better 0 theres a great deal of kidding around the club some times when a bird is a long lime returning occasionally theres some mud on their feet and this leads some of ihe mrnilwrs to surmise al oud thai ihr turd has walked home incidentally a pigeon as a rule will not fl thru a storm there is the odd very stout hearted bird which will brave practical all odds to get back home but as a general thing the pigeons wail until the weather be comes more favourable the owners start the birds fly ing in easy stages in the spring they corner cupboard restaurant georgetown gray coach terminal largest modern restaurant in the

racing ac romphshment just as meticulously as do owners nf race horses and they are watched over with the same lov ing rare the bird and its owner must become well acquainted so that the pigeon will know him and not be come upset when handled they are fed a special racing pigeon food in summer peas are predominant in the mixture to give stamina and in winter corn is featured to give body heat during the winter months cod liver oil is placet in a trough in the lofts it forrm a sort of jelly like sub stance and the pigeons really lap it up or beak it upi on dull days hut when thr sun is

it is particularly extensive 111 1ondon during the war racing pigeons were used for carrying inissages when all other means of communica tion failed as a matter of fact the navy still uses them at times for car rying messages 0 maybe some of the resident in our new subdivisions would not mind having a couple of racing pigeons once in a while to carry messages they are still with out phones but
