 my Opinion, outdo a Sky-Lark for Fine- 

 nefs of their Song ; they are very proper 

 Birds to b^ kept with Sky-Larks or young 

 Canary Birds ; they take a gre t Delibara- 

 tion in their Song, Some of them will chew 

 whifk, WQQt and rattle to a great Length, 

 likewife they run their Feef and their Snee^ 

 ■ Jug, and twink two or three Way, and fuch 

 a Bird as this is of great Value for raifmg 

 up other Birds under him ; they are very 

 bandfome, long, taper Birds, much about 

 the -Size of a Nightingale ♦, they don't frng 

 above four or five Months in the Year, that 

 is, March, April, May, and June, and fom^ 

 in July, 1 his Bird is a very hardy Bird, 

 but I think them not worth while to bring 

 up from the ISJeR;, by reafon they are caught 

 from- the 25th oi March, till the loth or 

 1 2th ofJpriL You catch them with N ets/ 

 called Clap-Nets, as you do Linnets or 

 other fmall Birds, If you catch them la- 

 ter they grow rank, and won't fmg much 

 in a 'Cage that Summer. As foon as you 

 have catch'd them, tie their Wings as you 

 do a N ightingale's. You muft have a Cage 

 clofer than a comm.on Wocd?Lark's Cage ; 

 put a little Ant's Mould, w^ith Ant's in the 

 Bottom of the Cage ; for his Victuals, take 

 a little of the belt Bread, make it very nne, 

 or grate it with a Grater for that purpofe ^ 

 take about half the Quantity of Bread as 



Hemp-
