Pittsburgh.—While listening to his radio recently, Thomas Hobson of No. 1635 Grandview avenue was surprised when a robin flew into his home through the kitchen door, which had been left open on account of the spring-like weather. Imitation bird songs were being heard over the radio at the time. Hobson believes the robin heard a robin’s chirp from the loud speaker and decided to Investigate.
The feathered stranger made itself at home on the curtain rods and chairs, Hobson reported. The robin was disinclined to leave the house and members of the family permitted it to remain on a curtain rod in the dining room all night. Later the bird was given its freedom.
