+Burr. Bird.

+[Illustration: Burr. Bird.]
+
+The Bird and the Burdock.
+
+
+ Who _is_ there who has never heard,
+ About the Burdock and the Bird?
+ And yet how _very very_ few,
+ Discriminate between the two,
+ While even Mr. Burbank can't
+ Transform a Bird into a Plant!
+
+[Illustration: Burbank.]
+
+
+
+
+The Clover. The Plover.
+
+[Illustration: The Clover. The Plover.]
+
+
+ The Plover and the Clover can be told apart with ease,
+ By paying close attention to the habits of the Bees,
+ For en-to-molo-gists aver, the Bee can be in Clover,
+ While ety-molo-gists concur, there is no B in Plover.
+
+
+
+
+The Crow. The Crocus.
+
+[Illustration: The Crow. The Crocus.]
+
+
+ Some are unable, as you know,
+ To tell the Crocus from the Crow;
+ The reason why is just because
+ They are not versed in Nature's laws.
+ The noisy, cawing Crows all come,
+ Obedient to the Cro'custom,
+ A large Crow Caw-cus to convoke.
+ You _never_ hear the Crocus croak!
+
+
+
+
+The Rue. The Rooster.
+
+[Illustration: The Rue. The Rooster.]
+
+
+ Of Rooster the rudiment clearly is "_Roo_",
+ And the bird from the plant very probably grew.
+ You can easily tell them apart without fail,
+ By merely observing the Rue lacks de-tail.
+
+
+
+
+The Parrot. The Carrot.
+
+[Illustration: The Parrot. The Carrot.]
+
+
+ The Parrot and the Carrot we may easily confound,
+ They're very much alike in looks and similar in sound,
+ We recognize the Parrot by his clear articulation,
+ For Carrots are unable to engage in conversation.
+
+
+
+
+The Pea. The Pewee.
+
+[Illustration: The Pea. The Pewee.]
+
+
+ To tell the Pewee from the Pea,
+ Requires great per-spi-ca-city.
+ Here in the pod we see the Pea,
+ While perched close by is the Pewee;
+ The Pea he hears the Pewee peep,
+ While Pewee sees the wee Pea weep,
+ There'll be but little time to see,
+ How Pewee differs from the Pea.
+
+
+
+
+The Pelican. The Panicle.
+
+[Illustration: The Pelican. The Panicle.]
+
+
+ The Panicle and Pelican
+ Have often been confused;
+ The letters which spell Pelican
+ In Panicle are used.
+ You never need confound the two,
+ There are many ways of telling:
+ The simplest thing that one can do,
+ Is to observe the spelling.
+
+
+
+
+The Hen. The Lichen.
+
+[Illustration: The Hen. The Lichen.]
+
+
+ The Lichens lie on rocks and bark,
+ They look somewhat like Hens:
+ Hens _lay_, they _lie_, we may remark,
+ A difference of tense.
+
+
+
+
+The Hawk. The Hollyhock.
+
+[Illustration: The Hawk. The Hollyhock.]
+
+
+ To recognize this Bird-of-Prey,
+ The broody Hen you should survey:
+ She takes her Chicks on daily walks,
+ Among the neighboring Hollyhocks,
+ While with the Hawk association,
+ Is quite beyond her toleration.
+
+
+
+
+The Cow Bird. The Cowslip.
+
+[Illustration: The Cow Bird. The Cowslip.]
+
+
+ Growing in mires, in gold attired,
+ The Cowslip has been much admired,
+ Altho' its proper name, we're told,
+ Is really the Marsh Marigold:
+ The Cow Bird picture, I suspect,
+ Is absolutely incorrect,
+ We make such errors now and then,
+ A sort of cow slip of the pen.
+
+
+
+
+A Sparrer. Asparagus.
+
+[Illustration: A Sparrer. Asparagus.]
+
+
+ The Sparrow, from flying, is quite out of breath,
+ In fact he has worked himself almost to death,
+ While the lazy Asparagus,--so it is said,--
+ Spends all of his time in the 'sparagus bed.
+
+
+
+
+The Tern. The Turnip.
+
+[Illustration: The Tern. The Turnip.]
+
+
+ To tell the Turnip from the Tern,
+ A thing which everyone should learn,
+ Observe the Tern up in the air,
+ See how he turns,--and now compare
+ Him with this inert vegetable,
+ Who thus to turn is quite unable,
+ For he is rooted to the spot,
+ While as we see the Tern is not:
+ He is not always doomed to be
+ Thus bound to earth e-_tern_-ally,
+ For "Cooked to a turn" may be inferred,
+ To change the Turnip to the Bird.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ Observe the Turnip in the pot.
+ The Tern is glad that he is not!
+
+
+
+
+The Ole Gander. The Oleander.
+
+[Illustration: The Ole Gander. The Oleander.]
+
+
+ The Gander loves to promenade,
+ Around the farmer's poultry-yard,
+ While, as we see, the Oleander
+ Is quite unable to meander.
+
+
+
+
+The Blue Mountain Lory. The Blue Morning Glory.
+
+[Illustration: The Blue Mountain Lory. The Blue Morning Glory.]
+
+
+ The Blue Mountain Lory spends most of his time
+ In climbing about in a tropical clime;
+ We therefore our efforts need only confine,
+ To minutely observing the climb of the Vine.
+
+
+
+
+The Quail. The Kale.
+
+[Illustration: The Quail. The Kale.]
+
+
+ The California Quail is said
+ To have a tail upon his head,
+ While contrary-wise we style the Kale,
+ A cabbage head upon a tail.
+ It is not hard to tell the two,
+ The Quail commences with a queue.
+
+
+
+
+The Pecan. The Toucan.
+
+[Illustration: The Pecan. The Toucan.]
+
+
+ Very few can
+ Tell the Toucan
+ From the Pecan--
+ Here's a new plan:
+ To take the Toucan from the tree,
+ Requires im-mense a-gil-i-tee,
+ While _any one_ can pick with ease
+ The Pecans from the Pecan trees:
+ It's such an easy thing to do,
+ That even the Toucan he can too.
+
+
+
+
+The Auk. The Orchid.
+
+[Illustration: The Auk. The Orchid.]
+
+
+ We seldom meet, when out to walk,
+ Either the Orchid or the Auk;
+ The Auk indeed is only known
+ To dwellers in the Auktic zone,
+ While Orchids can be found in legions,
+ Within the equatorial regions.
+ The graceful Orchid on its stalk,
+ Resembles so the auk-ward Auk;
+ 'T is plain we must some means discover,
+ To tell the two from one another:
+ The obvious difference, to be sure,
+ Is merely one of temperature.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ For Eskimos, perhaps, the Auk
+ Performs the duties of the Stork.
+
+
+
+
+The Cat-bird. The Cat-nip.
+
+[Illustration: The Cat-bird. The Cat-nip.]
+
+
+ The Cat-bird's call resembles that,
+ Emitted by the Pussy Cat,
+ While Cat-nip, growing by the wall,
+ Is never known to caterwaul:
+ Its odor though attracts the Kits,
+ And throws them in Catniption fits.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+The Ibis. The 'Ibiscus.
+
+[Illustration: The Ibis. The 'Ibiscus.]
+
+
+ The sacred Ibis tells his beads,
+ And gravely from his prayer-book reads;
+ The Ibis therfore we may say,
+ Is classified a bird-of-prey.
+ 'Ibiscus we have heard related,
+ The "Crimson-Eye" is designated;
+ Their difference is plain indeed,
+ The flower is red, the bird can read.
+
+
+
+
+The Butter-ball. The Butter-cup.
+
+[Illustration: The Butter-ball. The Butter-cup.]
+
+
+ The little Butter-cup can sing,
+ From morn 'till night like anything:
+ The quacking of the Butter-ball,
+ Cannot be called a song at all.
+ We thus the flower may learn to know,
+ Its song is reproduced below.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+The Bay. The Jay.
+
+[Illustration: The Bay. The Jay.]
+
+
+ The Blue-Jay, as we plainly see,
+ Resembles much the green Bay tree:
+ The difference between the two,
+ Is ob-vi-ous-ly one of hue.
+ Though this is not the only way,
+ To tell the Blue-Jay from the Bay.
+
+
+
+
+The Pipe. The Snipe.
+
+[Illustration: The Pipe. The Snipe.]
+
+
+ Observe the common Indian Pipe,
+ Likewise the high-bred English Snipe,
+ Who is distinguished, as we see,
+ By his superior pedigree.
+
+
+[Illustration:
+ Two crosses botonny
+ bend sinister.]
+
+[Illustration:
+ Fess argent
+ mantlets sable.]
+
+
+
+
+The Roc. The Shamrock.
+
+[Illustration: The Roc. The Shamrock.]
+
+
+ Observe how peacefully the Cows
+ Among the little Shamrocks browse,
+ In contrast with their actions frantic
+ When they perceive the Roc gigantic;
+ We need but watch thei_r oc_upation,
+ And seek no other explanation.
+
+
+
+
+The Lark. The Larkspur.
+
+[Illustration: The Lark. The Larkspur.]
+
+
+ The Larkspur's likeness to the Lark
+ Is surely worthy of remark,
+ Although to see it we require
+ The aid of a small magnifier,
+ Which circumstance of course implies,
+ Their difference is one of size.
+
+
+
+
+Puffin. Nuffin.
+
+[Illustration: Puffin. Nuffin.]
+
+
+ Upon this cake of ice is perched,
+ The paddle-footed Puffin:
+ To find his double we have searched,
+ But have discovered--Nuffin!
+
+
+
+
+Author's Apology.
+
+
+ Not every one is always able
+ To recognize a vegetable,
+ For some are guided by tradition,
+ While others use their intuition,
+ And even I make no pretense
+ Of having more than common sense;
+ Indeed these strange homologies
+ Are in most flornithologies,
+ And I have freely drawn upon
+ The works of Gray and Audubon,
+ Avoiding though the frequent blunders
+ Of those who study Nature's wonders.

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project

+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+

+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
