Visits the British isles regularly during winter. Easily domesticated, becoming tame very shortly 

 after their capture ; but I am not aware that they have ever bred in this state, or does any thing 

 appear to be known of their modification. 



Trachea and inferior larynx typical, the former slightly expanding above the latter part.

 the wing coverts blue, and the remainder of the plumage more or less tinged with cinereous. The 

 bill of this species gapes more at the sides than in any other of the genus.
