HESE birds, like the former, are fond of 
wooded and mountanous fituations; they 
feed on bilberries, and other mountain fruits; and 
in the winter on the tops of the heath. They 
are often found in woods; this and the preceding 
fpecies perching like the pheafant: in the fummer 
they frequently defcend from the hills to feed on 
corn: they never pair; 
but in the fpring the 
male gets upon fome eminence, crows and claps his 
wings *; on which fignal all the females within 
* The ruffed heathcock of America, a bird of this genus, 
does the fame. Edzw.

The cock of the wood a- 
grees too in this exultation during the amorous feafon ; at 
which time the peafants in the 4/ps, dire€ted by the found, 
have an opportunity of killing them. |
