BLOOD OF BIRDS. — * This appears to be more highly oxygenated

 colour, and circulates more rapidly, the pulse of birds usually running 

 above a hundred beats in the minute. This may also account for their 

 being so voracious ; a fauvette (Sylvia hortensis) which I had, often 

 consuming more than its own weight of food in the course of a day.*
