    one cold frosty day in Winter and, thinking that she must be hungry I brought out some food. I placed it on a wall, and was turning to go away again, when to my surprise and delight, the robin alighted beside me and began to eat eagerly, pausing every now and then to cock her pert little head, and glance up at me. When she had eaten she hopped a few yards away and began to sing - a song of thanksgiving it seemed.
    The song of the thrush and blackbird are more beautiful than that of the other birds.
