Buffon obferves much on the fenfibility of this fpecies; of which
# It may be wondered why the name Creature Ihould be applied to a Parrot;
but Mr. Bancroft thus explains i t : Parrots, fays he, are diilinguiihed by two
names, mi. Parrots properly fo called, and thofe termed ‘Creatures: the firft are
fuch as are docile,- and will learn to talk; the fecond refemble the former in every
particular, except that they have lefs docility, and have a habit of nodding when
any attempt is made to handle them; a cuftom of which they never can be di-
vefted, though they are often taught to fpeak very diftindtly.
