ROBBINS

These two little Birds possess all the friendly and innocent appearance of the sweet Bird of the same name in England. I have been given to understand they are the cock and hen of the same species, of this I am not Naturalist enough to determine, but as they however go in this Country by the same Name, and their Habits appearing similar I have not parted them in this work.

Native Names

Red .... Kundi

Yellow ....Munga
