I, 128. THE Ousel or blackbird is white in Achaia. The Ousel purges disgust to meat annually with laurel-leaves. The Ousel changes its colour from black to russet, sings in the summer, stutters in winter, changes about the solstice its bill, which is transformed into ivory in year-old cocks. The tame Ousel eats flesh against nature. The Ousel like other birds does not shed its plumage, but changes its bill to a white colour every year. And in the winter for fatness it can scarcely fly. Ibid. , ...bk. Iii. 74. IF the feathers of the right wing of an Ousel be hung up on a red thread, which has never been used, in the middle of a house, no one will be able to sleep in that house, until the wing has been taken down. And if its heart be put under the head of a sleeper, and he be ques- tioned, he will tell with a loud voice all that he has done. And again if it be put in well-water with the blood of a hoopoo, and mixed together, and then rubbed on the temples of any man, he grows weak even to death.
