eggs. 1 he young ones are eaftly reared, aijd 
their little fong, and fprightlinefe, is very intereft- 
ing. A gentleman who had brought up fome in 
an aviary, gave all his birds their liberty in the 
fpring ; thefe were the laft that left it; they were 
afterwards frequently attacked by wild birds of 
their fpecies when thus perfecuced, they flew to 
the window alls, as it were for protection, and 
there defended themfelves, ruffling their feathers, 
and fighting the wild ones like game cocks.
