. Nützliche Vögel und ihr Schutz. Mit kurzen Beschreibungen der häufigsten und nützlichen Arten von Massachusetts, mit Berichten über ihre Ernährungsgewohnheiten, Und ein Kapitel über die Mittel, Vögel anzuziehen und zu schützen. Die Vögel taten nichts, da die Bienen, einmal weg vom Bienenstock, nie befähigen würden, in ihren Schutz zurückzukehren. Der Chickadee ist nicht bekannt, Getreide oder Kulturobst zu verletzen. Gelegentlich pickt er einen gefrorenen Apfel, der im Winter am Baum hängt, aber ich kann zu keiner anderen Zeit einen Bericht über seine verletzte Frucht finden.Es wäre schwer, einen Vogel harmloser oder mehr zu finden
