flO CRISPED COCK. 



cherishes them ; collects them together when they 

 straggle, and seems to eat unwillingly till he sees 

 them feeding around him : he allows of no com- 

 petitor, but on the approach of a rival he imme- 

 diately attacks the intruder, and if possible drives 

 him from the field, or perishes in the attempt. 



At present this bird is found in nearly all parts 

 of the world, but in the more northern climates, 

 as Siberia and Greenland, it is kept more as a 

 curiosity than on account of its use, as they will 

 not breed there. Asia is undoubtedly the place 

 from whence it originally sprang.
