On examining the stomach of many birds that are supposed to be most des- tructive to fruit large quantities of destructive insects have been iound. 1! _birds take some fruit it must be remembered that as a rule they pay well {or all they take. It has been utimated that one bird will devour or destroy about. 2400 insects in a yeah. Birds of prey such as hawks and owls destroy large numbers of field mice and other vermin that are injurious to growing‘cro‘ps and stetâ€" ed grain. So we-find that this are not a nuisance but are of some use. My birds are fond of fruit and wlll take‘ some of the cherries and berries o! the garden and others help themselves in the grain field. This does not prove that they are a. nuis- nnoo and should be destroyed. As a rule birds feed upon the food which is most readily got, which are weeds‘ heads and insects. Birds that feed upon insects are called insectivorous' and while they do some injury by rdabing the fruit trees. berry bushes. 7 Sometimes we think birds do more humthangoodandweareapt to ‘edl them g nuisance.
