The Blackcap. — 135 
This bird, in flight, resembles other warblers, and 
cannot be well distinguished by its line of movement. 
If the Blackcap is kept in a cage, it will be found 
to inherit most of the ailments of the nightingale, 
| and must be treated with great care and attention; it 
requires a home at least twenty inches long, twelve 
wide, and fourteen high, and holding three perches 
covered with wash-leather, and kept airy; the feet of 
this bird cannot bear too hard a grasp.
