Excerpt from Natural History of Birds: Their Architecture Habits and Faculties
Flowers have been called "the poetry of nature," a compliment which might be applied, with even more justice, to birds; which not only vie with the tulip and the rose in the splendour and beauty of their colours, but in their sprightly and joyous movements, their graceful forms, and, more than all, in the variety and sweetness of their melody, may be said to embody the very soul of poetry. It must be highly pleasing, therefore, and no less instructive, to study the character and habits of this most interesting portion of "animated nature."
The volume here offered to the public will be found to contain many charming, and scarcely less wonderful things, in relation to the feathered tribes; and the reader will discover that the great Creator has been no less liberal in endowing them with the instincts essential to their individual preservation and happiness, than with the qualities which make them more directly the objects of our admiration and delight.
