"In the midst of wild oak, palm, and orange trees, with flowers on every hand, the ostrich has resumed his natural traits and habits - interesting, educational and amusing to watch."
"...four days after hatching the baby ostrich goes without food. ...begins to eat gravel, alfalfa, grain, oranges, vegetables, and from time to time, small rocks and other hard substances as an aid to digestion."
"In no case are plumes plucked. They are clipped close to the skin by an absolute harmless process." The brochure reassures me: "Only the wing and tail feathers from the male birds are taken." Whew.
"... Audobon society thoroughly approves and heartily endorses the use of ostrich feathers in millinery purposes."
Regards to the ostrich plume:
"... no other article of adornment more popular...sought by royalty and beauty-lovers of all nations..."
