Tboupials.—There are many of these birds, the best known of which is the Rice Troupial (JDolichonyx orizivorus). It obtains its name from its extreme fondness for rice, and is sometimes called the rice-bunting. As it has a very wide range, is extremely plentiful, and possesses a beautiful voice, it has received a variety of popular names, such as butter-bird, because it becomes so fat in harvest time ; reed-bird, because it is fond of settling in vast numbers among seeds; bob-o-link, bob-linkum, &c. Teumpeteb, sometimes called Waracaba {Psophia crepitans).. TKUMPET. —-This bird is allied to the crane. Waterton mentions that it can be domesticated, and in such cases, it usually considers the house as its own, and is madly jealous of any other pet which it fancies may deprive it of its master's affections. As for cats, it cannot bear them, and always turns them out of I I.
