the fact that It Is a hermit among the
feathered creatures, delighting In the
silence of liich altitudes. It dwells on
mountain heights above 7.000 feet in
elevation. Tim queuil was the royal
Mrd of the Artec*. and It* plumes were
DMd to decorate the headdresses and
cloaks of the kings of that land. Its
breast is a brilliant scarlet*, while its
green tall attains a length of three feet
It is about the size of fhe common
pigeon. !t nests in holes in rotten trees,
which It enlarges with Its bill, so as to
irutka a roomy and comfortable resi
dence. The yoong are hatched totally
devoid of feather*.
