Sam and Sally, Roller Canaries, Become
Personalities to This Correspondent
By MAUDE SILVERSTRAND
Special Correspondent
ATKINSON—Well, it has hap
pened. Sam and Sally have quad
ruplets. They were born about a
week ago along with 2 other baby
birds. The neet was so crowded
with 6 hungry little fellows that
2 of them were smothered.
bam and bally are tne first pair
of roller canaries in tne large
flock belonging to Mrs. Ait An
drus to have their family i.iis
year. The raising of tnese beau
tiful singers has been a hobby 01
Mrs. Andrus for the past 30 years
or more.
w 1 t • A__A
jl nevti rcou^cu avw uncicov
ing a hobby of this sort could be
until I became personally ac
quainted with Sam and Saxly and
their neighbors. They all have
names. Mrs. Andrus said that the
first pair was purchased with pen
nies saved by herself and her son
who was a very small boy at that
time. They bought the birds of
the late Mrs. Phoebe LeMunyon,
mother of Frank LeMunyon. As
she watched her son’s and his cou
sin’s interest grow she became in
terested herself and since that
time the number of pairs has
grown until at one time she sold
as many as 30 birds in one sea
son. That particular year most
of the birds went to a firm in
New York.
Did you know that at 2 weeks
the little birds are fully feathered
and that at 3 weeks they are be
ginning to warble with at least
some indication of their future
ability? , _ „
Did you know that when Sally
gets tired of sitting on the nest
and gets off for a bit of swing
ing and walking that Sam im
mediately takes over and keeps
the eggs warm until she decides
to come back?
I supposed that all birds, both
wild and domestic, have the same
characteristics but somehow
when you watch them go through
the cycle of raising a family un
der your supervision they de
▼elope personalities—almost hu
man I think Mrs. Andrus has
chosen a hobby that is extremely
interesting as well as profitable.
Her feathered musicians have
brought much joy to young and
old alike. _
