THE HOOPOE. 



65 



His native home is in Africa and in Asia, and he is related not only to 

 the bee-eater, but to the humming-bird and the sun-bird. Very rarely, indeed, 

 does he pay us a visit in England, but such an event now and then happens. 



THE HOOPOE. 



The hoopoe, when he is kindly treated, behaves extremely well in 

 captivity, and even attaches himself to those about him.
