Food
of
Blackbirds.
The
natural
food
of
the
blackbird
is
berries,
worms,
insects,
shelled
snails,
cherries,
and
other
similar
fruit;
and
its
artificial
food,
lean
fresh
meat,
cut
very
small,
and
mixed
with
bread,
or
German
paste.

Thrushes.
A
cock
may
be
distinguished
from
a
hen
by
a
darker
back,
and
the
more
glossy
appearance
of
the
feathers.
The
belly
also
is
white.
Their
natural
food
is
insects,
worms,
and
snails.
In
a
domesticated
state
they
will
eat
raw
meat,
but
snails
and
worms
should
be
procured
for
them.
Young
birds
are
hatched
about
the
middle
of
April,
and
should
be
kept
very
warm.
They
should
be
fed
with
raw
meat,
cut
small,
or
bread
mixed
in
milk
with
hemp
seed
well
bruised;
when
they
can
feed
themselves
give
them
lean
meat
cut
small,
and
mixed
with
bread
or
German
paste,
plenty
of
clean
water,
and
keep
them
in
a
warm,
dry,
and
sunny
situation.

Canaries.
To
distinguish
a
cock
bird
from
a
hen,
observe
the
bird
when
it
is
singing,
and
if
it
be
a
cock
you
will
perceive
the
throat
heaving
with
a
pulse-like
motion,
a
peculiarity
which
is
scarcely
perceptible
in
the
hen.
Feed
young
canaries
with
white
and
yolk
of
hard
egg,
mixed
together
with
a
little
bread
steeped
in
water.
This
should
be
pressed
and
placed
in
one
vessel,
while
in
another
should
be
put
some
boiled
rape
seed,
washed
in
fresh
water.
Change
the
food
every
day.
When
they
are
a
month
old,
put
them
into
separate
cages.
Cut
the
claws
of
cage-birds
occasionally,
when
they
become
too
long,
but
in
doing
so
be
careful
not
to
draw
blood.
