Kindness, care, and patience are the only means for teaching any bird to talk or imitate a sound, and as all the crow family are exceedingly intelligent they learn very readily. 232 PETS FOR PLEASURE AND PROFIT Crows and their relations may be kept in cages, but it is best to give them as much freedom as possible. Feed them various seeds, fresh fruit, greens, plenty of insects, and a little egg in moulting season and they will thrive and live for many years. There is no bird that will thrive on... a greater variety of diet and will be so free from diseases as the common crow, and none that will prove more amusing and entertaining. When a boy, the author reared a crow from a nestling. This bird was called "Dom Pedro," after the emperor of Brazil, and was never kept confined in a cage except at night. He was full of odd tricks and kept us con- tinually amused at his antics. He learned to talk very soon, and would come when called like a well- trained dog. On one occasion he extracted all the goldfish from an aquarium, and the fish could not be found for months until one day when an old, unused dictionary was opened we found the unfortunates pressed between its pages.
