 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 xXwpei!?, Arist. H. A. ix. 

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

 TTupprt, Ael. iv. 5, Phile, 1. c. 685 ; to Kopag and to KipKos, Ael. vi. 45 ; is 

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

 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, 1 2 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, 1. c. 727. Possibly identical with the trigon or trygon 

 that is said to issue tail first from the egg, 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 Tpvyav = pastinacd) Ael. i. 39, Phile, De An. Pr. 22 (21), 464.
