    species of birds. They live in wooded districts, and very often quarrel among themselves. They start to build their nests on 1st Feb but if it falls on Sunday they won't start until the 2nd.
    The hawk which is not loved by the farmers' wives, owing to it been so destructive on the young fowl, is a large bird of an ash colour.
