Text Appearing Before Image:
, consists of small dry twigs,which are procured by the birds in a singular manner. While on wing, theChimney Swallows are seen in great numbers whirling round the tops ofsome decayed or dead tree, as if in pursuit of their insect prey. Theirmovements at this time are extremely rapid; they throw their body suddenlyagainst the twig, grapple it with their feet, and by an instantaneous jerk,snap it off short, and proceed with it to the place intended for the nest. TheFrigate Pelican sometimes employs the same method for a similar purpose,carrying away the stick in its bill, in place of holding it with its feet. The Swallow fixes the first sticks on the wood, the rock, or the chimneywall, by means of its saliva, arranging them in a semicircular form, crossingand interweaving them, so as to extend the framework outwards. Thewhole is afterwards glued together with saliva, which is spread around it foran inch or more, to fasten it securely. When the nest is in a chimney, it is A N?9. PI. 44.
