Animals: Cock Robin (Cont’d)

In Kansas City last week the cock robin which has been attacking its own reflection in a window pane was still at it (TIME, March 27). Its mate was supplying it regularly with fat worms, big bugs. Once it fell upon a blue jay which appeared in the yard, drove it away. Apparently wearied by this diversion the cock robin retreated for a few hours to a telephone wire. As the 17th day passed its attacks grew less & less vicious.
