Pastor roseus, FLEMING. SELBY. 



Turdus roseus, PENNANT. MONTAGU. 



THE nest is located in holes of trees, and in cavities 

 in old walls or rocks, as also on the ground, 

 thousands of nests being built together, so as even to 

 touch one another. A few straws, sticks, wool, leaves, 

 grasses, roots, mosses, feathers, and such like, are the 

 materials, if any, for often the eggs are laid on the 

 bare ground, or in a deep hollow or hole under rocks 

 and stones. 



The eggs are five or six to seven or even nine 

 in number, and are said by the Hon. Thomas Littleton 

 Powis, on the authority of Mr. Linder, of Geneva, to 

 be white, resembling those of the Starling, with the 

 like faint tinge of green blue or blue green. W. F. 

 W. Bird, Esq. has obligingly forwarded me a drawing 

 of one, from the collection of the Right Honourable 

 Lord Garvagh, and J. R. De Capel Wise, Esq., a 

 specimen.
