PLATE XXXVIII. 
The Jack Daw 
Is a very common bird, and a fpecies of the Crow! It much frequents church fleeples and hollow 
trees in parks, but never makes choice of a wood or common field. They lay live eggs, and gene- 
rally bring as many young ones ; they build three or four times in the feafon : the young ones are 
frequently taken and kept, fometimes caged, and fometimes not. This bird is made choice of 
becaufe it is eafily taught to talk, and very familiar; will perch on the flioulder or hand, and will 
follow any one it is ufed to with the' fame familiarity as a dog. Their food is flefh of all kinds, 
fnails, &c. &c. I have obferved them in a field of fheep Handing on their backs' picking out the 
ticks. Tliey are of a hardy nature, and may be kept on any thing.
