PARADISE DUCKS INCREASING. The latest bulletin of the New Zealand Native Bird Protection Society records (with keen appreciation the action of land-holders on the upper .reaches of the Grey River on the West Least of the South Island, in protecting that comparatively rare and very beautiful species, the Paradise duck. During January of tnis year, while on a visit to the head waters of the Grey River, on the West Coast of the South Island, a party, who are interested in the protection of our native birds, were surprised to see several clutches of young Paradise ducks so tame that they could be approached within a distance of half a chain, as well as many adult birds. The reason for this' it was ascertained, is that Messrs Palmer Bros, and Newcombe do not molest the birds nor allow anyone to shoot them on their land. It was indeed pleasing to the visitors to find these young settlers acting in this manner, for it is the exception rather than the rule, in this district, to find cases like this.
