PLATE LIV. 
The Female Thrujh. 
The Female Thrufli differs much in it's plumage from the male given in the twelfth plate, its 
colours are not fo dark as that of the male, and exhibits an effeminacy through it's whole appearance. 
It lays five eggs of a light blue fpotted with black, and are much rounder than thofe of other birds ; 
they breed three or four times in a year, their young ones are eafily brought up by hand; but their 
note is inferior to thofe which are wild in the fields-they are in full fong all the breeding feafon, and 
continue fo till the approach of winter, when they retire to woods, &c. for (helter from the 
inclemency of the weather.— For their food, &c. fee Plate the Twelfth.
