Heady to ('panne Their Habits When
introduced into at New Country.
When settlement began in New 'lea -
land farmers gave n heady invitation 10
the small birds of England to help in
the great work of celcnlization, says J.
Drummond. writing in The Saturday
1►tvie v. 'rile colonists were in a rather
5041 plight then, through plagues of
caterpillars. which threatened to make
Harming on anything. like a large scale
impossible. 'l'he gathering of the in-
sects caused consternation. They ad-
venced through the, country in artlliOS,
drvouring crops and leaving fields as
bare as if the seed had not been sown.
A telegram published in the leading
New 'Zealand newspapers about that
time slated that the morning and even-
ing trains between Waverley and Nuku-
Itlat'u in the Wanganui district, on the
west coast of rho North island, were
brought to a standstill owing to Count-
less thousands of caterpillars being on
the rails, \which had to be. swept and
sanded before the trains could continue
their journeys. ,
Some of the native birds performed
good Ser•\•iee by eating insects, but the
native birds of New Zealand are shy
and will not dwelt with mil. 'The sei-
tlers, therefore. turned their ettetition
to the iitseet-eatting birds of the ort!
country. Tho sparroty, the hedge-sp►ar-
row, the song -thrush, the black -bird. the
greenfinch, the ct,nflinch, the goldfinch.
the redpoll, the yellow -hammer, the cite -
hinting, the starling, the skylark and
other birds were introduced.
They accepted the task allotted to
them, took up their permanent residence
in the colony and feel on the fat of the
land. Itut the colonists felt that they
repaid kindness with ingratitude. The
regard that was once felt for them has
Leen turned to bitter hatred. 'There is
a hue and cry against them, and most
of the fanners in the colony would now
willingly banish 1110111 from the land if
They could.
The writer adds : The verdict is
written on a circular which 1 prepared
some months ago, and which the de-
partment of agriculture issued for me
throughout the colony. . - All the eve
dence 1 have obtained points to the (net
'tint l.irds aro quite ready to change their
