FEEDING TIME Greg Swanson, 11, son of Mr. and'Mrs.
Roy G. Swanson, 402 South Newtown st., holds "Wally," a
pet grosbeak. He and his brother Gary, 8, caught the bird
about two weeks ago a block away from their home. The
bird's wing has been cut. He is also missing a tail and a toe.
"Wally" is shown-perched on the edge of an ashtray filled
with bird seed.
Boys Tame Grosbeak
Injured In Fight'
By JOE COWLEY
Mail Tribune Staff Writer
"Well, I'm a dirty bird!"
That's what Wally, a tame
grosbeak, may have muttered
to himself as he scraped the
frosting off his feet. To the
bird, hopping up on the fresh
ly frosted cake was just an
other adventure. But to the
lady of the house Mrs. Roy
G. Swanson, 402 South New
town st. it was an aggravat
ing nuisance.
The bird had been found
about two weeks ago by her
sons, Greg, 11, and Gary, 8,
a block from the house. His
wing had been cut at the
tendon and one toe and his
tail miss. This probably re
sulted from, aerial combat
with blue-jays, the boys said.
Wally was fluttering along
the ground when the two boys
found him and wasn't eager
to be caught. But the two
agile youngsters cornered him
under a bush and soon he join
ed the long line of creatures
who have been treated at the
"Swanson animal hospital and
zoo." The patient list at one
time or another has included
a woodpecker, three robbins,
two baby sparrows, a white
mouse and a tadpole:
"Dad knows a lot about
such things," Gary said. "He
showed us how to take care
of Wally. We feed him bird
seed. He's pretty tame now,
but he will never be able to
fly."
Wally doesn't actually need
to fly. His hops would make
a kangeroo drop its pouch.
His recent hop, of course, was
onto the cake. He also fikes
to hop from a hand onto a
shoulder of one of the boys
while eating his bird seed
from an ash tray.
Meal time is fun time for
Wally. When h attacked a

piece of french-fried potato
recently on Gary's plate he
probably thought it was a
worm. Ketchup must have
made it taste even better.
What Gary doesn't eat, Wally
does.
The grosbeak has a cage
on the kitchen drainboard
which serves as his bedroom.
At night the cage door is
closed. During the day he's
allowed the freedom of the
kitchen and the livingroom
when the boys are home.
Since Wally isn't house
broken, and probably never
will be. it takes a fast man
with a piece of toilet-paper to
keep with him.
Since Wally never will be
able to fly it looks as if he
will be around the Swanson
pet domiciliary for some
time. His guardians don't
worry about him leaving the
house. He seems to know
when he's well off. Even the
neighbor's cat accepts him.
Of course this didn't come
until after long hours of close
tail - twitching examination.
During the first few days in
his new home Wally was
kept in a cage on the back
porch but was soon removed
to safer quarters.
Saturday the boys were
clamoring for a pet rabbit.
However, Mrs. Swanson was
holding fast. It's bad enough
now she says. When she comes
home from her job as a tele
phone operator she never
knows what sort of creature
she will find in the house.

New York (IP Stocks
lost ground for the ninth

A few specialties responded
to favorable corporate devel

Uncertainties over the ec

gotiations in the auto industry
combined to keep the market
on edge. Unfavorable devel

also accounted for some of the
selling.
The steels were downside
