ate several words, and, when alone in the forenoon, seem, as it were,to go over their lesson, commencing with the words they had first learned,the one repeating the word after the other with a more shrill voice. Theywill not, however, speak in the presence of strangers, of whom they seem tohave some dread. They seem much terrified at the sight of a cat, andeven when one is seen outside the window, emit the loudest cries till someone come near, when they appear to feel quite confident. They havebeen kept together in the hope of their breeding, but I have reason tothink that their being together has prevented their speaking so well asthey would have done under different circumstances, as the male, who wasat one time by himself for several months, spoke nearly the whole day, andeven attempted to imitate part of an air he had heard played; he conti-nued doing so for some time after he joined the other. They seem re-markably fond of music, listening to it with much apparent pleasure. a2 83
