434 GREEN GROSBEAK. Class 11. 



venient to stay where it was before placed, it 

 climbs upon the second finger, where it like- 

 wise continues, and for the same reason. When 

 this hath been nine or ten times repeated, and 

 the bird stroked and caressed, it finds that no 

 harm is intended, and if the light is let in by 

 degrees, it will very frequently eat any bruised 

 seed out of the hand, and afterwards continue 

 tame.
