After a few days they would come npon
the steps of the cook-room, and at last,
they became so very tame, they would
come into the house for food for their
young, and if they found no one in the
room to leed them, they would go into
all the rooms, until some one was found.
I have known them even to go into the
parlor, where five or six mi eats were
seated, without fear, and come directly
to my leet, hen their young left
their nests the parent birds taught
them to oome into the house also, and
they never manifested fear. Sometimes
several of them were in at onoe. This
season, we have bluebirds quite tame,
naving their nest in the verandah. Y e
have a tame chipping-bird, and feed
him many times daily. Last eveninc.
at ten o'clock, I was sitting by the table
reading, and was much surprised to
hear the little fellow singing. He had
seen the light shining through the win
dow, and saw me sitting there.
