Ants, or In a Jelly Glafs and fweep fortie 

 Ants upon it (which you may fix between 

 the lower Pearch and Side of the Cage) 

 and they c.n't eafily get out, which will 

 foon learn them to feed, but be fure you 

 don't truft: them to themfelves too foon, 

 and put Ants-Mould at the Bottom of the 

 Cage ; let it be almoft an Hour before 

 vou put the Victuals to him, after you 

 have cram'd him, and put him to the 

 Light, then he will the fooner take to his 

 Feed, fo you may let him alone for a 

 Qiiarter of an Hour, or near half an Hour 

 and then if you find he has eaten the Ants 

 out of his Meat, fill it up again ; take 

 them clean out of the Mould, not to daub 

 the Victuals •, your befl Way will be to 

 take a little of the Ants-Mould, and lay it 

 upon a Sheet of white Paper ; when you 

 ftir the Mould a little, the Ants will run 

 about the Paper, then you take your Fin- 

 ger or a little Brufh, and bruili it off into 

 their Victuals. 



As foon as you perceive him to feed, 

 you need not cram him any more, but fl ill 

 continue to fupply him with Ants for one 

 Day longer, or more, if you fee Occafion. 

 You mud ftill continue to keep his 

 Wings tyed, and you'll find if he is a kind- 

 ly Bird, he'll fing with you in a Week's 

 Time, I have heard them fing the next
