 the Cape of Good Hope : also in Abyssinia ; Mr. Salt shot one in the 

 gardens of the Rhas, in Chelicut : lays six or seven white eggs ; the 

 nest is open at top, spherical, made of flexible roots, lined with 

 feathers, and is placed among the thick and thorny bushes, to avoid 

 birds of prey ; has a monotonous cry, like Trit, trit, repeated every 

 instant.
