The Kestrels are very numerous and very tame, perching on the 

 roofs of houses, from whence they dart frequently at canary-birds 

 hanging in their reed cages outside the windows, and they generally 

 succeed in securing their prey ; they live principally on lizards, grass- 

 hoppers, and mice. 



The Buzzard is seldom seen about the town, but confines his flights 

 to the highest mountains, feeding on small birds, insects, and reptdes. 



The Barn Owl inhabits the ravines in small numbers ; it is a little 

 darker than the British Owl. It may he remarked that all the birds 

 of Madeira are darker than their European brethren. 



The Redbreast is very common ; it is frequently caged, and seems 

 to flourish in captivity.
