THE STORK 
Is so tame a bird, that he is by no means alarmed at 
the approach of strangers ; was brought from Elseneur, 
in 1800. 
SPOON RILL. 
To try the disportive nature of this bird* a sea-gull 
was introduced, which he used most inhospitably ; but 
is now, as if through remonstrance, perfectly reconciled. 
CURRASSO. 
This bird very much resembles in temper, the Chi- 
nese pheasants ; it was at first very shy, but has now be- 
come so familiar, as to feed out of any person’s hand. 
THE HORNED OWL 
Is easily distinguished, by large fierce eyes, and promi- 
nent horns.
