Verum habeant ex utraque parte foramina: unum, quo caput exseratur; alterum, quo cauda clunesque, ut et cibos capere possint et cos digestos sic edere, ne stercore coinquinentur. Substernatur autem mundissima palea, vel molle fenum, id est, cordum. Nam si dure cubant, non facile pinguescunt. Pluma omnis e capite et sub alis atque clunibus de-tergetur: illic, ne pediculum creet; hic, ne stercore loca naturalia exulceret.
