[The common Grey Parrot is fond of maize, and the flocks 
gather about the patches of corn when it is ripe. It is 
the work of the girls of the village to scare the Parrots 
away. The girls keep up a noise all day long, with their 
voices, and by drumming on logs, while the Parrots hang 
around persistently, watching for a chance to get a bite, yet 
afraid of the noise. When they get the opportunity they 
gorge themselves. A Grey Parrot has been caught alive 
from sheer inability to fly readily, owing to the weight of 
grain in its crop. Often seen in the Zima Country.—

[The specimen of Agapornis pullaria, No. 1167, was caught 
by the boys in their hands, in the tall grass, owing to inability 
to fly, due to its gorging itself. Its crop was distended with 
the kernels of grass-seeds to half the size of the remainder 
of the body, after skinning.—G. L. B.]
