On long perch, in g very wide cage.
sat long row of dear little birds Of diff
ferent colors and sizes, but all very
small. These were African fnchcs, and
it was very amusing to see them sit there
perfectly quiet until some one came to
one end of the cage. Then every one of
these little birds turned its head to see
who it was. When the person went to
the other end, they all turned their heads,
at the same moment, in that direction.
They moved so quickly, and in such per-
feet order, that you might have thought
they had been drilled by military
officer.
As had no time to look at all the
birds, l passed around among the long
legged herons, bright-colored pheasants,
gorgeous chattering parrots, pretty little
paroquets, finches of all kinds-black,
white, red, green and purple-grossbeaks
(Which are finches with broad, thick
beaks, and some of them with beautiful
scarlet and black plumage); mino- birds,
which come from India, and talk as we'll

sational parrots; and the weaver. bird, of
which you may have heard under the
name of the sociable grossbeak, and
which seems to be q very good sort Of
bird, although nothing like so much of
curiosity as its nest must be.
There were also some toucans, about
as big as crows, with enormous bills as
large as the claws of HOLSTERS, and of
very much the same shape. Some of
these great bills, half as big as the bird,
were red, and others we're dark colored.
Some of the cockatoes were of beautiful
rosy color, and one kind, from Australia,
looked exactly as if it had been rosy
once, but had been washed and had
faded.--From "a Villagee Of Wild Beasts"
