If the experiment of feeding a 3'oung bird like a Robin at the nest is tried, it \\\\\ be found that the food passes slowly down the cesophagus, and when this is filled no more can be taken until the channel is clear. The gullet thus acts as a brake to the tendency of the greedy young bird to gorge itself to suffocation. According to Audu- I02 Wild Birds. Fig. 96. Female Chestnut-sided Warbler bristling to keep cool while brooaing on a hot June day. Fig. 97. The same bird in the more common bro...oding attitude. bon, Cedar-birds will sometimes gorge themselves to such excess with berries as to be unable to fly, and a number of wounded birds of this species which he kept in a cage ate of apples until suffocated. When opened they were found to be filled to the mouth. The automatic response given by the young is the signal awaited by the old bird, though often with impatience. The insect is watched after being placed in a respon- sive throat, until it disappears. Should it stick at the gullet it is withdrawn and le- placed time and again, or given a gentle pull, until it is safely down.
