X Bird That reeds an Live Bbeea, Th kea, or Nestor notabilia, is an outlaw bird of New Zealand, for each of whoa bills tho government offers a reward of a shilling. The kca is a gour mand. It prefers the kidneys of sheep to any other part of the beast, according to th London Field. Coming down out of th mountains in winter, it attacks th sheep, alighting on their backs and tearing away the bide and fleah until it reaches the tidbits whioh it socks. How the birds learned to tear away the skin to get at tba fleah forms a cari ous story of the development of bird knowledge. The birds bsd been feeding on the refuse of cattle aud aboep killed for bum an consumption. Thoy learned to aisociate tho idea of meat with the living animal, and now thoy kill th sheep for tho meat without waiting for human aid or consent. Tho Maoris have a legend about this bird to the ef fect that it used to be a strict vegetari an, building its neat on the ground. The sheep came and trampled on the nests, and the birds attacked thorn farioualy, drawiug blood. They liked the flavor of flokb aud have since boon eating it The bird builda its uoats iu trees now, outof reach of tho sheep hoofs. New York Sun. MUloa at Work.
