some murderous or accidental means; yet I have found sparrows and vireos in the fields and woods dead or
dyingthat bore no marks of violence; and I remember that once in my childhood a redbird fell down in the
yard exhaustedand was brought in by the girl; its bright scarlet image is indelibly stamped upon my
recollection. It is not known that birds have any distempers like the domestic fowlsbut I saw a social sparrow
one day quite disabled by some curious malady that suggested a disease that sometimes attacks poultry; one
eye was nearly put out by a scrofulous-looking soreand on the last joint of one wing there was a large
tumorous or fungous growth that crippled the bird completely. On another occasion I picked up one that
appeared wellbut could not keep its centre of gravity when in flightand so fell to the ground.
One reason why dead birds and animals are so rarely found isthat on the approach of death their instinct
prompts them to creep away in some hole or under some coverwhere they will be least liable to fall a prey to
their natural enemies. It is doubtful if any of the game-birdslike the pigeon and grouseever die of old ageor
the semi-game-birdslike the bobolin [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]yilai:
