The Redoreast. De 
f Menethe leo ang peck have tcen made, and the 
worm secured, it beats it against the ground, holding 
it by one end, till the inward parts come away, still 
cleansing it by pinching it when eating. 
This is a solitary bird, never seen in flocks. When 
other birds are in companies, the RKedbreast is seen 
singly. Its call-note varies beyond description in type. 
Its song is well known, and the pleasure its notes give 
when other birds are mute is not for me to describe, 
but is best known by the hearer.
