GROCP OF COCKATOOS. 



The LoTe-birds derive their name from the great fondness -which they display for others 

 of their own species, and the manner in which they always sit close to each other while 

 perched, each trj-ing to snuggle as closely as possible among the soft feathers of its neigh- 

 bour. They are all little birds, and among the smallest of these is the Swindekn's Loye- 

 BiKD, which measures barely six inches in length.
