Following the Equator
Part 6

CHAPTER LVI
10/12

They will be a great surprise, and it is said that in a climate like ours they will surpass expectation for fecundity.
I am bringing some nightingales, too, and some cue-owls.

I got them in Italy.

The song of the nightingale is the deadliest known to ornithology.

That demoniacal shriek can kill at thirty yards.
