The Bullfinch. 65 


This bird nests in May, and generally builds in some 
evergreens. Its nest consists of sticks and roots, the 
latter forming a lining. The eggs laid are four or five 
innumber. The parent birds are very affectionate to 
their nestlings, and the latter remain with the old 
birds longer than most of our feathered creation do.
