PLATE XVIII. 
The Fantail. or Shaker. 
Op thefe birds are various forts, whicli differ only in colour. The carriage of their head 
is very majeftic and ftately. To be of any value, their bill muft be {hort ; and in their 
tail muft be a double row, which muft contain thirty-two feathers at leaft. They lay white 
eggs, and fit eighteen days. The male and female fit alternately, as it was remarked of the 
Jacobine in a former plate. They do not in general rear their young fo well as the com- 
mon pidgeon.
