82 BRITISH BIRDS. 



Hampshire they sometimes breed in rabbit holes.* 

 They are easily tamed, and may be taught to 

 pronounce several words : they will conceal part of 

 their food, and with it small pieces of money, or 

 toys. They feed on insects, grain, fruit, and small 

 pieces of flesh, and will also eat eggs. 



There is a variety of the Daw found in Switzer- 

 land, having a white collar round its neck. In 

 Norway and even in this country, individuals have 

 been seen perfectly white.
