green : edge of the quills yellowiih : the two middle tail feathers 

 are longer than the outfide ones by five inches : legs and claws 

 flefh- ctlcur. 



Inhabits various parts of America* 



Bancroft tells us that it is in Guiana, and that the tail fea- 

 thers are blue at the point. It is called Sincialo * at St. Domingo. 

 It is very noify in its natural ftate, and eafily learns to talk, 

 whiftle, and imitate the voices of the animals within its hearing. 

 Thefe fly in troops, and alighting on trees well cloathed with 

 green, it is a difficulty to find them, though great numbers fettle 

 on the fame tree. They are very lively, and are eafily tamed j 

 but, like many others of the -race, when kept in a houfe, will 

 always join in the difcourfe at a time one would moll wifh them 

 to be filent. In their native places they are accounted good food, 

 being at times very fat, and not unfavoury.
