This bird inhabits the woods of Cayenne atid Grigehs chee it is 
gregarious, and not .unfrequently feen about -houfes ; it is likewife 
brought up tame, in the:manner of our domeftic poultry, , 
The trachea follows the courfe of the neck as far as tins breatt, 
where it rifes on the outfide of the fleth, being covered only, by the 
fkin and feathers, and: paffes downwards fome way ; after which it 
returns upwards, and, bending over the right clavicle or collar-bone, 
divides into the two ufual portions, entering the cavity, and joins 
the lungs: at the:part where it makes the curve on the breatt, it 
is kept in its place by a ftrong mufcle, which is perceivable quite to 
the breaft-bone. The above is obferved in both fexes. The gene- 
ral cry is faid to be not inharmonious; except when irritated or 
wounded, when it is harfh and loud. 14: Me
