 Bird is troubled with the little Pimple ori 

 his Rump, called the Pip, and you obferve 

 Tokens of Sicknefs in him, wheQitisripe 

 and full of Matter, take the Point of a fine . 

 Needle, and let out the Matter with as 

 much Gentlenefs as you can ; fqueeze it all 

 out ; after tak-€a Bit of Sugar moift end in 

 your Mouth, and put it on the Sore, will 

 heal it. There is a Diftemper that fome- 

 times comes on their Heads, a yellow kind 

 of Scurf, which fometimes fwells, and is 

 full of Matter, cover'd with little Scabs •, 

 this muil be fuppled with Oil of Sweet Al- 

 monds, fweetLard, freOi Butter, as itcomes 

 out of the Churn, without Salt or Capon's 

 Greafe ; anoint it with any of thefe 1 hings, 

 and adminifter the fame Food, as Lettuce- 

 Seed, ^c. As I have in fomx Places pre- 

 fcrib'd cooling or cleanfmg Things, and m 

 others what is warm,- dry and nouriihi ng, I 

 think it not amifs to explain myfelf, firft, 

 as to what is cooling, as Chickweed, but be 

 not over laviih in this, give Plantain and 

 Lettuce, or either of thefe, and fome fcald- 

 ed Rape-Seed, and put a fmall quantity of 

 whole Oatmeal in their comm^on hardSeeds, 

 and for their Drink, AVater with a fmall Bit 

 of Stick Liquorice. 



All thefe are fiB.e cooling Things, but 



fnuft only be given in proper Seafons, that 



is, when the Spring is pretty forward, jufl
