The Titlark. 



tender bird ; the moult is probably the most trying period of 

 its existence. For treatment necessary at this time, see the 

 observations on this subject in the Chapters on the ''Sky- 

 lark " and the " Woodlark." A frequent change of food, 

 and cleanliness, are the best preventatives of disease at all 

 times. These birds, unlike Skylarks and Woodlarks, bathe 

 in water.
