These were apparently wild, and their numbers and beauty recalled the fact that the peacock Is India's royal bird; and It Is not an inappropriate symbol of the pomp and magnlflcenc of th oriental kings. I might digress here to say that th. respect, for life taught In the Hindu scripture, hae filled India to excess with useless birds and animals. The crow, and kite. ar. a nuisance. It 1. no uncommon thing to ae. a vendor of cakes and sweet meats bearing his basket on hta bead and waving a stick above It to Mare ofr the blrda.Bome times an attendant follow, the vendor and protects him from the birds, but tn spite of all pre caution, they get their tolL Th. crow, often come to the door, and window, of th. hotel ' and inquire whether you have anv food to spare, and sparrows and other smalt birds occasionally glean crumbs from th. table.
