But of all birds they are shot most easily, as they always make a whirring noise when they rise, by which they alarm the gunner, and being a large mark, and flying very slow, there is scarcely any missing them. THE POULTRY KIND. 151 Ah ! what avail his glossy, varying dyes, His purpled crest and scarlet-circled eyes, The vivid green his shining plumes unfold, His painted wings, and breast that flames with gold ? POPE. When these birds are taken young into keep- ing, they become as familiar as c...hickens ; and when they are designed for breeding, they are put together in a yard, five hens to a cock ; for this bird, like all of the poultry kind, is very salacious. In her natural state the female makes her nest of dry grass and leaves ; the same must be laid for her in the pheasantry, and she herself will sometimes properly dispose them. If she refuses to hatch her eggs, then a common hen must be got to supply her place, which task she will perform with perseverance and success. The young ones are very difficult to be reared ; and they must be supplied with ants' eggs, which is the food the old one leads them to gather when wild in the woods.
