Excerpt from Animate Creation, Vol. 4: Popular Edition of "Our Living World," a Natural History The M ino bird is very common in many parts of India and the Indian Islands, where it is frequently captured and domesticated. It is a bright and lively little bird, wonderfully intelligent, and even conceiving so great an affection for its master, that it is permitted to y about at will. Many amusing tricks are often taught to the Mino Bird, and it possesses a talent for talking equal to that enjoyed by the magpie, the raven, the starling, or the parrot. So admirable a conversationalist is the Mino Bird that some writers who have had personal experience of its capabilities, think that it surpasses even the gray parrot in its powers of imitating the human voice. It will repeat many words with extraordinary accuracy, and some specimens have learned phrases and sen tenoes of considerable length.
