AN IMPRISONED BIRD.
(To the fcditor.)
Sir,—An imprisoned starling has been seen beating against the closed windows of the old post office building. Can you tell me to whom on© should apply about it ? It would be perfectly practicable while the house is unused to close the chimneys on top with some fine meshed wire, and would be a humane step ; otherwise a'l the spring and early summer the birds will go into the chimneys looking for nesting places and be- unable to get out. It seems a Pity to let them come to such a miserable end when a very little trouble and expense would prevent it. The old placei is, of course, a Government building ; I wonder whether this small humanitarian job could not come within the scope of the local Public Works Department.
BIRD LOVER.
