RED-STAR 
Of the Young, how io order and bring them up,. 
They mu ft be taken out of the neff at about 
ten days old ; for if left there too long, they 
are apt to learn fome of the old bird’s temper, 
and be very fullen. 
reed them with fheep’s heart. and egg, min- 
ced very fmall, as the Nightingale or Robin, gi- 
ving them but little at a time ; for if you clog 
their flcmachs, they’ll prefently caff their meat, 
and die in a ihort time. 
When you perceive them begin to eat their 
meat, cage them lingly, putting thereunto a pan ; 
and about the fides of the cage, ceafe not, tho’ 
they feed themfelves, to give them a bit or two-, 
three or four times a-day ; for they will hardly 
eat their fill for a long time, when they begin 
to feed alone : but when you have u fed. them 
to eat five or fix days without- feeding, give 
them fome pafle, and you will find them delight; 
much therein. 
They may he kept in what cage you pleafe ; 
only let them be kept-warm in the Winter, and 
they will ling in the night as well as the day $. 
and will learn to whiffle and imitate other birds. 
When wild, they feed upon infefts like the 
Robin, &c.
