How Birds Help Us
Birds do an immense amount of
drudgery for man, if they do now and
then reward themselves by a dainty
tidbit of ripening fruit. A pair of
robins have been watched while they
carried a thousand earthworms to their
brood. Woodpeckers destroy eggs and
larva which would develop millions of
destructive creatures in forest and or
chards; and one of the most inevitable
foes of the canker worm is the beauti
ful oriole, were it but allowed to live
and hang its swinging cradle to the
elm. For every wing of black and
orange on a young girl’s hat an apple
tree is stripped of leaves and young
fruit, or an elm is denuded of its grace
ful foliage by the canker worm.—Farm
