Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I have known li'tle pets fly all in a flutter to meet and greet me, when really I thought they would have quite forgotten that they. Had ever known me; and only let any one nurse a wounded bird, and see if it forgets the benefit received. Besides, they are very clever. I am sure if as many people lived sociably with birds as with dogs and cats, we should have soon a thousand proofs of their sagacious ways. Speaking for myself; I know quite well by their tones what my birds are want ing - sometimes it may be only a kindly recognition of a passing friend; but a few days ago when two were fighting and we took no notice, there was lit tle doubt what the conquered wanted - she called us to her assistance as plainly as if she had Spoken.
