Small British Birds Staging
LONDON UP) Britain Is
undergoing an "extraordinary
epidemic of paper tearing by
birds," Lt. Col. W.' M. Logan
Home reported.
He's been researching on the
extraordinary epidemic all winter
and has letters from 2,000 Irate
witnesses who complain:
The birds sweep into houses
arid tear wall paper off the walls,
mangle leather photograph
frames, rip clothes hung out to
dry, and attack milk wagons, rip
ping off the bottle tops and drink
ing the milk.
The culprit Is clearly Identified
as the blue tit, a little blue and
yellow bird who is a cousin of the
American chickadee.
"The birds may do it lust for
their own amusement, said
Home. 'They do it even when
they're well fed."
