men and women, out of hun
dreds of millions,; are perfect
enough to be Olympic con
testants. The overwhelming
majority of us are pretty
poor examples as far as phy
sical powers are concerned
We would have trouble com
bating the forces of nature.
Few of us could survive.
When a bird needs a hear
ing aid, glasses or a cane,
he ceases to be a bird.
Has Strength
The living bird must be
gifted with endurance,
strength, speed, and an alert
ness that must never lessen
for a single moment. He must
never be a profound sleeper
or day dreamer, for danger
and death can come at any
time. In consequence, the
birds you see flying or sing
ing from a tree branch have
adjusted themselves to their
environment. They have, thus
far. lived through the dan
gers that make their lives a
precarious balance between
life and death. Remarkable
that so many of them are
able to make it.
Most birds alive today have
survived because of their
promptness in adjusting them
selves to changing conditions.
They have learned to live
with us, accepting what we
have offered or tolerating our
presence. Even their feeding
habits have been varied to
change to meet the changing
times.
Rearranged Lives
As the forests have been
destroyed, the land cultivated
or the swamps drained, the
birds have moved closer in
and rearranged their lives.
They have so far survived in
a world that tolerates their
presence. Among the many
accomplishments possessed by
birds, one of the most un
usual is the sixth sense of di
rection which enables them to
know and continue in a course
of flight without guide posts
or knowledge of previous
trips.
Birds exercise a mastery of
locomotion over their most
important muscles, those
which control the wings, when
they fly or dive. These wings
tend to move downward, for
ward and backward in ordi
nary flight, and then upward
in a complicated curve. The
down stroke keeps the bird
in the air, enabling him to
soar higher.
The backward stroke keeps
it flying ahead. Coupled with
these remarkable powers of
flight is their highly devel
oped eyesight. The eyes must
alter their plane of vision
quickly, or collision would
result.
The birds and we, how
ever, have one thing in com
mon. We both walk upright
on two legs.
