When the weather is clear, they frequently amug 
themfelves by flying to a very.great height. 
_ When they have datched their young, they feed 
them (as the Pigeons feed their little ones ) with food 
which they have prepared in-their own ftomachg, 
They are very fond of cherries, which they fwak | 
low whole,. and after fome little time they. throw 
up the ftones and the ftems. 
Ravens walk when they are upon the ground, 
but do not hop. Sometimes, during ftorms, they 
are feen flying through the air, their beaks feem. 
ingly pointed with fire, it may be the lightning 
from the clouds,.
