Jenny and Jerry Wren are on the lookout for a place to set up spring housekeeping. Jenny is intrigued by a hollow Hercules gourd which hangs in Mrs. Ralph Bidgood’s back yard. Jerry has his eye on a certain aphid-infested pussywillow tree. It’s a busy season for our fine feathered friends. Spring migration is on and birds by the flocks are searching for suitable homes where they can rear their broods. Members of the Children's Museum Bird Lovers’ Club, awakened these spring mornings by cardinals’ cheerful warblings, are eager to seek out the various species of birds native to this part of the country. Club Proffers Guides Equipped with field glasses and led by guides from the Nature Study Club of Indiana they will take their first “Bird Walk” of the season Saturday afternoon at Riverside Park. On May 8 they will tour the Butler University campus and on May 15 a walk is to be made through Ellenberger Park. These youthful bird lovers have come to know the wild music of the bird songs and the bright colors of their plumage. Those who cannot whistle a bird’s song may be heard

putting it into typical words, learned from their school Readers. “Cover it up! Pick it up! Pull it up” is the chant they will use to imitate the brown thrasher. Some or the birds go about telling their own names, and are imitated easily. “Chicka-dee-dee” comes from a business-like little bird. “Phoebe” is the petulant call of the flycatcher phoebe, and “pee-e-wee” is the discouraged, hot weather drawl of the wood pewee. The vireos are easy to tell by their music, club members say. Especially the red-eyea vireo. “You see it—you know it—do you hear me?—do you believe it?” he sings as he hops about tree trunks, picking up insects between phrases. Birds naturally are attracted to the feeding stations which have been established at many points in the city, according to Mrs. Ralph Bidgood, club sponsor. During the winter season they went “on relief” and were saved from starvation by the feasts, distributed by bird lovers at city parks’ feeding stations, on the Riley Hospital grounds and in private back yards. “Now these little creatures of

habit are returning to the same friendly ‘tourist camps’ where they are assured free meals, baths and lodging,” Mrs. Bidgood explained. In her own back yard she has banded more than 200 birds. The most colorful among them is a flock of 20 cardinals which return regularly. A naturalistic rock garden of fern-filled crevices lures many song sparrows with choice tid-bits, Chestnut-sided warblers, although essentially tree-top birds are ate tracted to the nooks and bird baths in the flower garden. Children take their duties in the Bird Lovers’ Club seriously. At a recent meeting they learned from Samuel E. Perkins, Nature Study Club member. they could perform a good deed by tacking sunflower heads to bird feeding stations for winter rations when “pickings” are lean. Now they are planning to cultivate sunflowers in their summer gardens.
