Many people imagine that birds sing by itisiincf, knd that their songs come to them without any labour or practice. But ornithologists, who have made, the habits of feathered, tribes a life-study, have a different story, and tell of long and laborious practice in species and in dividuals ta lcqnire-facility and compfcs of song, iue following information, from a practiced obee.-ver, will be new to many IV Ct. .1.- our rrauers. 00 aaj s iue .itw x.y I l aid Farmer. tl ; , " tiiffe alt bde ttieif: pegUtfaJ' wyi of singing, aauie have a monotonous song, ftuuu, j ne uerum-utrusii im a roiinu 01 '.variations, perhaps the sweetest singer of ' the feathered choir. But the sonir.suar- . row has the most remarkable characters f srng of any bird that sings. Every male song sparrow has seven in dependent songs of its own, no two hav ing the same notes throughout, though somutiiiics, ns if by accident, they may hit npou one or more ot the same. Six years ago this spriug I first made the discovery. A singer that had taken up hi residence in my garden, attracted my attention by the sweet variations of its songs, so 1 commenced taking obser vations ou the subject. I succeeded at Ir.st in remembering all his songs, which are this day as fresh in my memory as any cf our airs that I am so fond of whistling. On one occasion I took note of the a u inber of time be trpg each song, aud tie order of singing. I copy from my jouraal six years back. Iso. 1 scng twenty-seven times ; No, 2,:thirty-six times; No. 3, twenty-three tunes; .o. 4, nineteen times; 2o. 5, twenty-one- times; No, 6, thirty-two times : 1, eighteen times. Perhaps next he would sing No. 2, then, perhaps, AO. 4, or o, ana so on. Some males will sing each tune about fifty times, though but seldom ; iiome will ohfy. sing tbein from five to ten times ; but, as far as I have observed. each male has his seven songs. I have applied the rule! to as many as a. dozen umereni uiras, anu uie result lias Deeti the same. I would say that it require a great degree of patience, and a good ear, to come ut the truth of the mutter ; but atiy one may watch a male bird while singing, and will find be will change 1iis -Who in a few minutes, and again in u few uioi'e. The bird that I first mentioned came to tho same vicinity lire springs in success ion, singing tlie same seven songs al ways singing within a circle of about twenty rods. On the fiffli ' sprin,r he came a month later than usual ; another sparrow had taken possession of his bunt ing grounds, so be established himself a little one eide. ' I noticed that he sang less frequently than of old, and iu a few days bis song was hushed for ever. No doubt old age churned him as her victim. Iu other cases.
