Mayor, Mayor Dunn can feed them from his hand. There are two flocks, one of fifteen birds and another of about twenty birds. They line themselves up on the edge of he roof on the mavor' s store about noon and wait. When he ap- pears about one o'clock and /throws cracked corn on the sidewalk it don't take long for the corn to disappear. They eat about 50c a week and quite an amount of peanuts. Several of the birds are quite tame and eat from his hand. The tamest one in the first flock is a homer pig- eon, which will fly up into the mayor's hand and eat peanuts. The tamest birds are in the second flock and sev- eral of them will alight on the mayor's arm over the peanuts as if there was no_other human being within a mile. The flock was first noticed about three months ago and consisted of five or six birds. Mr. Dunn commenced to feed them about two months ago and that flock has grown to fifteen birds now. The two flocks feed tosether most of the time but the smaller fiock is always first when they feed sep- arately. Changes at Freight Office.
