CANARY, PARI FROM MATE,
KILLS HIMSELF IN CAGE
VALDEZ, Alaska. ? An odd case of
self-destruction, In which the victim
was a pet canary, occurred here re
cently.
Early last spring a canary owned by
o Valdez woman made its escape froid
the cage in which it was confined and
flew away toward the timber east of
the town. For several days thereafUd
it returned each morning to the place
o' its captivity and was fed by its
owner, who put out a quantity of
seed, but all efforts to recapture it
failed.
One morning, the canary coming
back for its usual ration of seed,
brought with him a little brown bird
of the female persuasion, with which
it shared its meal. This continuod
for several mornings, but finally they
failed to return.
Fbr about three months the owner
of the bird mourned its loss, when, a
few days ago, she was surprised to
hear him outside the house, where
he had been accustomed to feed, and,
going out, captured him without dif
ficulty. A few days later the little
brown female, accompanied by several
others, probably her offspring, made |
her appearance and called to her form
er mate, who made frantic efforts to
escape from his prison. So violent
were his struggles to secure freedom
that his owner took the cage into the
house, when the bird, overcome by
the loss of his mate, dashed himself
against the bars of his cage, breaking
his neck.
