The Cuckoo builds in its nest, Arist. De Mirab. 3, 830 b. 



On White Turtle-doves, which are sacred not only to Aphrodite and 

 to Demeter, but also to the Fates and the Furies, Ael. x. 33. 



How Turtle-doves were brought as tribute to the Indian king, 

 Ael. xiii. 25. How the Turtle-dove is slain by x^'^P^vs, Arist. H. A. ix. 

 I, 609, Phile, De An. Pr. 690 ; is hostile to TrvpaXXis, Arist. 1. c, and to 

 TTvppn, Ael. iv. 5, Phile, 1. c. 685 ; to Kopa^ and to KipKos, Ael. vi. 45 ; is 

 friendly to Korrvcpos, Arist. H. A.ix. 1,610 (cf. Plin. x. (76) 96 ; to rrepicrrepd, 

 Ael. v. 48, and to the Parrot, Plin. x. (76) 96, cf. Ovid, Heroid. xv. 38 

 et niger a viridi turtur amatur ave ; id. Amor. ii. 6, 12 tu tamen ante 

 alias, turtur amice, dole. Plena fuit vobis omni concordia vita, &c. 

 These last references probably allude to the practice of keeping Turtle- 

 doves together with Parrots in aviaries. On Turtle-doves in captivity, 

 see Varro, iii. 8, Columella viii. 9, Geopon. xiv. 24, &c. Mentioned as 

 a delicacy, Juven. vi. 39, Martial, xiii. 53, &c. Is killed by pomegranate 

 seed, Ael. vi. 46, Phile, 1. c. 657, and uses the fruit of the Iris as a charm, 

 Ael. i. 35, Phile, I.e. 727. Possibly identical with the trigon or trygon 

 that is said to issue tail first from the ^gg, Hylas ap. Plin. x. (16) 18. 



They are captured by the aid of decoys, at their drinking-places, 

 Dion. De Avib. iii. 12 ; or with bird-lime, ibid. 2. An incredible story 

 of their being beguiled by dancing and music (sometimes referred 

 to rpvy<iiv — pastinaca) Ael. i. 39, Phile, De An. Pr. 22 (21), 464.
