Along Azalea Row
By Mrs. B. F. Rapraeger
In the April issue of Pacific
Poultryman appeared an item
about longevity in geese. It stat
ed that there are many cases on
record where gees have lived to
the ripe old age of 75 and one
record told of a goose which lived
to be 101 years old. Then, be

in St. James Park. London, was
known to be at least 70 years old.

have been compiled. Some of the
long-lived specimens were ravens,

author records a male cardinal

Precise facts as to the number
of days or years in a bird’s life
are not easily obtained. Few
wild birds ever die of old age as
they are so constantly exposed
to dangers from cats, other pred

drought and other accidents of
nature.
