The Holler, called also the German Parrot, is a native of 

 the northern parts of Africa, from whence it migrates to 

 Europe in the spring, returning in the autumn : it also occurs 

 in various other parts of that continent. Numbers are taken 

 at Malta, while tarrying there as their half-way house, being 

 thought good eating. In Germany it is frequently found, 

 and in Denmark occasionally, the south of Ilussia, Norway, 

 Sweden, France, Spain, Italy, Sicily, and Greece; also in 

 Asia Minor and Japan. 



In Yorkshire a pair of Hollers w r ere seen in July, 1817, 

 in a plantation called 'Forty-] :ence,' belonging to John Thomas 

 Wharton, Esq., of Skelton Castle, near Kedcar: one of them, 

 a female, was obtained. Another was shot in Fixby Park, 

 near Huddersiield, in 1824?; one at Hatfield, near Doncaster; 

 another, about the same time, near Halifax; and a sixth near 

 Scarborough, in 1832. One, a female, near the . Land's End,
