The Sparrow. 



THIS Bird is very plentiful, and verj 

 well known by e^ery little Boy, by 

 reaf(3a of their building in the Sides of 

 Houfes and Bird-Bottles. This Bird may 

 be brought up very tame and familiar. I 

 have heard them fing part of the Canary 

 Birds and Linnet's Note; you may bring' 

 them up with any Thing, Bread and Water, 

 Bread and Milk, or FleihMeat ; when yo^j- 

 have brought them up, feed them with 

 Hemp and Canary-Seed. If you find them 

 out of order, give them whole Oatmeal 

 among it. This is all that you need feed 

 them with, then they will dung hard and 

 fine as a Linnet or any other Seed Bird ; 

 they are very hardy Birds, and eafy to be 

 brought up : If you would have them to 

 learn under any other Bird, take them out 

 of the Nell at double Pen Feather. I have 

 knov/ii a Sparrow whifile good part of a 

 Tune, and fit upon a Man's Finger, beiig 

 of fuch a tame Nature.
