A Bird With Hands
In the forests of British Guiana,
gays the London Globe, lives the ho
actzin. a singular bird, whose young
possess a free claw at the end of each
wing, which they use almost as the
monkey uses his hands in tree climb
ing The nest or the hoactzin is in a
tree overhanging the water, and the
young unlike most birds, are active
from the first. The outermost quill
feathers of the wing, which might
hamper the free use of the claws, do
not grow much until the rest of the
wing is strong enough to make climb
ing less necessary. Then they grow
out, and the claws are absorbed. The
adult bird does not need them. Should
a young hoactzin fall into the water it
makes for the shore and seizes a
branch, up which it quickly climbs.
