 E commonly builds in Orchards or 



H 



Hedges, makes a very pretty Neft, 

 ^nd lines it with a very fine Down or Wool I: 

 ^e breeds in ylprll, and has three or four 

 l-Nefts in a Summer ; if brought up from 

 .jheir Ned they'll take their Song from a 

 Ws.od-Lark or Canary Bird, or from any 

 other Bird ; they are likewife a very fine 

 'Bird to draw their Water, and open their 

 Box for their Victuals, if you bring them 

 up from theirNelt, you may feed them with 

 white Bread and Milk, according to the 

 Nature of a Linnet, only I grind a little 

 Canary-Seed, and put the Flower of it in 

 the room of Rape-Seed, feeding them a lit- 

 tle, ®nce in an Hour or two, three or four 

 Bits at a Time, for their Stomachs won't 

 bear a great deal, they being very tender 

 Birds i you may likewife mix them, now 

 and then, a little Nable Blskets among it, 

 keeping them with this fort of Victuals 'till 

 they are five or fix Weeks old, then you 

 may give therna little Canary-Seed, and a 

 little foft Meat befides, breaking th'em off, 

 of foft Meat as foon you as can, and bring 

 them to Canary alone, which I look upon 

 the beft Food for this Bird ; fome feed them 

 V* iih Hemp-Seed, but in my Mind it makes 



them
