Manners. rTT^HESE birds, like the former, are fond of 

 Jt wooded and mountanous fituations; they 

 feed on bilberries, and other mountain fruits j and 

 in the winter on the tops of the heath. They

 male gets upon fome eminence, crows and claps his 



wings

 have an opportunity of killing them.
