THE RED-BIIXED IIORNBTIX. 



Black and white, with a simple red bill and red legs. Size not superior to that of a 

 magpie ; length rather more than twenty inches. Common in Senegal, where it is 

 known by the name of Tock. When young it is very simple and unsuspicious, and will 

 suffer itself to be approached and taken, but it gradually becomes shy as it advances 

 in age. It frequents woods, the old birds perching on the summits of the trees, and 

 soaring with rapid flight, while the young generally remain in the lower parts of the 

 trees, sitting motionless, with the head contracted between the shoulders. In their 

 native state they live on wild fruits, and in confinement on iilmost anything that is 

 presented to them.
