Mhen reared by hand from the nest,
the blackbird is capable of forming
strong attachments, and from his won.
derful initiative powers will make him
self a great favorite. lie will. II trained
when young. learn to whistle almost
any tune that may be taught him. The
Lest, and perhapsthe quickest, way is
TO take him, when about six weeks or
not later than two months old, TO a
quiet o away from any other bird
aud in the evening and the first thing
in the morning give him his lesson. Tho
tune may be played on a lutc or other
wind instrument. 1t is advisable to
feel him before commen ing opera
tons and some briDe or other. as for
instance, u lively worm, should be
placed in his sight.
Play over q portion OF the tune you
wish him TO learn. and he will evidently
pay particular attention to it, Repeat
1t. with precisely the same time and
expression, say twenty times; then give
the bird a little uiet, so that he may, If
he will, have an opportunity of initial
ing it If he should make any attempt,
instantly give HIM his reward, ~coaXing

for n bird, possessed of strong reasoning
powers, he will soon dis over why the
worm or other brihe is given him, and
before long will understand how TO earn
it. Wheh once learnt, thetune or tunes
will never be forgotten, but pass, as il
were, into its song 1t is rather a tedi-
Gus undertaking, but the result is in
.variably satisfactory.
A blackbird will also initiate other
birds infinitely, and though there is lit.
tie variety in his natural song, it is
made up for by its pure lute-likc tone
and full volume. 1t most readily imi-
tates the thrush, but it will catch many
notes from the nightingale, to which
bird its one has most resemblance,
were it not for tho Introduction of sew
eTal harsh notes. When kept in con
tinement, il Is always advisable to bringit
up when young near to some good sing
ing bird, rs it will thereby learn its
n~eighbor's song, and, intermixing the
notes with its own. make a most agree
able SOngster.
