He iz ov a dark brown color, and bilds hiz nest in not holes, out ov little bits ov stix.
He iz az gritty az a mud pie, and will fight a hen turkey.
Rens are little pirates; i hav seen them drive a blu-bird out ov his house, and sett up bizziness on hiz stock in trade.
They lay an egg about the size ov a marrow fat p, and hatch out at least a half dozen children at a setting.
A young ren iz the funniest little package i ever see done up; they aint much bigger, and look verry mutch like a small-sized semicolon.
Rens are long-lived, but if they should live tew be az old az Methuseler, they wouldn't be az bigg az a butter-nutt.
They liv on the bug and worm family, and spend their winters south.
They are not profitable to eat—i would az soon dress a bumble bee, and one ren pot pie would use up the whole breed.
THE CROW.
