PARROT, 



rihhee //lands likewife. It is of all the Parrakeet$ the apteft to 

 talk plain, and, though kept for a long time confined, always 

 fhews a peculiar wildnefs in its nature. It is called at Guiana by 

 the name of Pavouane. Thefe fly in numbers, frequent favannas 

 and woods, and are very fond of the fruit of the tree Fimmortel** 



I take Sir A. Lever's fpecimen to be a flight variety. The 

 head in his bird is of a dufky blue, as far as the middle of the 

 crown : the under parts of the body incline much to olive : the 

 bill and legs lead-coloured : the under wing coverts crimfon, but 

 no yellow, as in the above-mentioned bird. This fpecimen came 

 from Cayenne, and is full thirteen inches in length.
