re soever.
_To feed Black-Birds Thrushes, Felfares,
or any small Birds whatsoever._
Being taken old and wild, it is good to have some of their kinds
tame to mix among them, and then putting them into great cages of
three or four yards square, to have divers troughs placed therein,
some filled with haws, some with hemp seed, and some with water,
that the tame teaching the wild to eat, and the wild finding such
change and alteration of food, they will in twelve or fourteen days
grow exceeding fat, and fit for the kitchen.
_To feed Olines._
Put them into a fine room where they may have air, give them water,
and feed them with white bread boiled in good milk, and in one week
or ten days they will be extraordinary fat.
_To feed Pewets._
Feed them in a place where they may have the air, set them good
store of water, and feed them with sheeps lungs cut small into
little bits, give it them on boards, and sometimes feed them with
shrimps where they are near the sea, and in one fortnight they will
be fat if they be followed with meat. Then two or three days before
you spend them give them cheese curd to purge them.
_The feedings of Pheasant, Partridge, Quails, and Wheat Ears._
Feed them with good wheat and water, this given them thrice a day,
morning noon, and night, will do it very effectually; but if you
intend to have them extraordinary crammed fowl, then take the finest
drest wheatmeal, mix it with milk, and make into paste, ever as you
knead it, sprinkle in the grains of corns of wheat, till the paste
be full mixt there with; then make little small crams, dip them in
water, and give to every fowl according to his bigness, that his
gorge be well filled; do thus as often as you shall find his gorge
empty, and in one fortnight they will be fed beyond measure. Thus
you may feed turtle Doves.
