Mark it well, within, without; No tool had he that wrought, no knife to cut, No nail to fix, no bodkin to insert, No glue to join his little beak was all, And yet how neatly finished. \vhat nice hand, With every implement and means of art, And twenty years' experience to boot, Could make me such another? Fondly then We boast of excellence, whose noblest skill Instinctive genius foils. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nests and Eggs of Familiar British Birds, Described and Illustrated: With an Account of the Haunts and Habits of the Feathered Architects, and Their Times and Modes of Building Ir may at first strike our young readers that this is a question very easily answered; if they think so, let them try What sort of an answer they can give to it, and if they break down in the definition, we will endeavour to help them, as we are told in the old fable, Jupiter did the waggoner; but it is best for young people to try, and, for that matter, old people too; let them never believe that they can't do a thing - where there's a will there's a way. Many a boy that will take a deal of pains, and incur no inconsiderable risk of life and limb, to climb up a tree after a bird's nest, finds it too much trouble to read and learn about the habits of the creature he is thus ready to deprive of its warm comfortable home and beautiful eggs. He cannot tell you, if you ask him, of What the nest is composed, nor how, nor when it was built, much less can he answer the question which we have just put to our readers.

The inner lining was made in the common way, of the usual grasses. One of the nests which he obtained had a few dead leaves in its 'base. Finally, the collection of Dr. Wm. Wood, of Connecticut, contains three robins' nests, all built during the same season, within the same tobacco-shed, and made wholly of bits of tobacco-twine woven inseparably together. Presumably, these three nests were made by the same pair; and Dr. Wood is reported as inclining to the opinion that two of them, at least, were made before any eggs were. Laid, since he has known of such a case. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds' Nests and Eggs: With Directions for Preparing, Stuffing, and Mounting Birds and Animals; With Thirteen Engravings and Diagrams, and a Coloured Illustration of the Eggs of British Pet Birds A little later, and the smaller birds make the grove sound musical, as their several songs of love are poured forth. From this time the male becomes the slave of the female. He sings to charm her; he labours incessantly to aid her; he gathers materials for the nest; he assists her in building, and super intends the workmanship; and marvellous it is to see them, without other instruments than beak and claws, build and weave or sew the nest, according to their peculiar habits. Observe the materials which they employ with so much effect, and with a discernment which indicates something approaching to intelligence. Look how skilfully one weaves the catkins of the willow, the poplar, and thistle down, surrounding it by stronger fibres, and the address with which it is suspended at the extremity of some slender pendulous branch, beyond the reach of anything that only runs or creeps. Another, having made its calcula tions, fixes its nest so near to the surface of the water, that as the wind sweeps through the four reeds to which it is so firmly and yet so delicately attached, its bottom just touches the water without being immersed, even in the most violent storm.

Enjoy this classic work today. These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Nests and Eggs of Familiar British Birds, Second Series - Described and Illustrated; with an Account of the Haunts and Habits of the Feathered Architects, and their Times and Modes of Building: Look inside the book: Look too at the difference in size, between the egg of the Humming Bird, no bigger than a pea, and that of the Ostrich, as large as a man's head nearly, or bigger still that of the Epyornis, of which fossil remains have been found in Madagascar, the contents of which must have been equal to six ostrichs', or one hundred and forty-eight common hens' eggs, that is about seventeen English pints; and yet in all these the germ, or as it would be called, the vital principle, that is, the principle of life, is but a tiny speck, or circle, which is attached to the membrane that surrounds the yellow portion, or yolk; it is from this that the animal in embryo derives nourishment, and the size of it, and consequently of the whole egg, is in proportion to the quantity that is required to sustain life, until the protection of the shell is no longer necessary. ...The more common kind is a migratory bird, coming in large flocks at very irregular intervals, and visiting more especially those parts of the country where there are woods and plantations of fir and pine, of the seeds of which they are very fond, extracting them with great dexterity from between the scales of the cones; for this operation, the projecting points of the bill appear to be well adapted, as well as for picking out the apple-pips, as they are called, and kernels of other fruits; hence the name shell-apple given to the bird, which was a not uncommon visitor to the English orchards in former times; thus in a curious old record we are told that 'In the yeere 1593 was a greate and exceeding yeere of apples; and there were greate plenty of strang birds, that shewed themselves at the tyme the apples were full rype, who fedd uppon the kernells onely of those apples, and haveing a bill with one beake wrythinge over the other, which would presently bore a greate hole in the apple, and make way to the kernells; they were of the bignesse of a bullfinch, the henne right like the henne of the bullfinch in coulour; the cocke a very glorious bird, in a manner al redde or yellowe on the brest, backe, and head.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birdsnesting and Bird-Skinning: A Complete Description of the Nests and Eggs of Birds Which Breed in Britain On this and all questions of doubt or difficulty I have had the great advantage of the constant assistance of Mr. Bond and Mr. Doubleday, than whom this country has never produced more accomplished ornithologists or gentlemen who practically understand our British birds so well. In conclusion, I would particularly recommend that in every case where it is practicable the nest as well as the eggs should be preserved. I use the expression practic able, because I am well aware that the nests of our larger birds can only be preserved where there is no te striction on the score of space but among our smaller birds no such objection exists, and nothing is more easy than to preserve these lasting monuments of instinctive genius.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds' Nests and Eggs: With Directions for Bird-Stuffing, With Instructions as to Their Management With returning spring all nature revives; the birds which remain with us all the winter seem restored to life by the first fine day; those which departed on their journey to a warmer climate in the autumn return from their migration; and once more the woods and fields re-echo with their song. The rook and the crow give the first intimation that the pairing season is at hand. Their cawing is incessant, as is also the industry with which twigs and branches are conveyed to their intended dwelling-place in the tree-tops. A little later, and the smaller birds make the grove sound musical, as their several songs of love are poured forth. From this time the male becomes the slave of the female. He sings to charm her; he labours incessantly to aid her; he gathers materials for the nest; he assists her in building, and super intends the workmanship; and marvellous it is to see them, without other instruments than beak and claws, build and weave or sew the nest, according to their peculiar habits. Observe the materials which they employ with so much effect, and with a discernment which indicates something approaching to intelligence. Look how skilfully one weaves the catkins of the willow, the poplar, and thistle down, surrounding it by stronger fibres, and the address with which it 18 suspended at the extremity of some slender pendulous branch, beyond the reach of anything that only runs or creeps. Another, having made its calcula tions, fixes its nest so near to the surface of the water, that as the wind sweeps through the four reeds to which it is so firmly and yet so delicately attached, its bottom just touches the water without being immersed, even in the most violent storm. The eggs of birds vary again according to the species; not only in respect to their colour, but in their form also. They are white, blue, grey, green, red, or ash-coloured; and, besides the general predominant colour, they are covered with spots, dashes, or streaks of darker shades, which are regularly or irregularly grouped, sometimes towards one end, sometimes the other. Dr. Carus attempts to explain this diversity of colour the blood in the ovary, mixing with the calcareous salts of which the shell is composed. It results not only from an excretion of the calcareous salt, he says, speaking of the shell; for the blood of the oviduct, being 111 a sort of inflamma tory state, mixes itself with these salts, forming certain pro ducts. To which may be attributed the divers colours of the eggs of birds. All these varied tints are the result of the decomposi tion of the blood. It is possible that the colour of eggs may be due to some such cause, but the subject is open to doubt; for if the source of the colour and spots is in the blood mixing in the uterine vessels with the salts of the shell, it is difficult to conceive why all eggs are not spotted, and why those that are spotted vary in tint. Besides, the colour, whatever it may be, is only external, forming a thin coating only; whereas, if it had been produced by a mixture of decomposed blood and the component parts of the shell, the whole shell would partake of the prevailing colour. In the meanwhile, the question is still one of doubt; a doubt, perhaps, which chemical analysis would easily solve were the question one of any moment.
