I am a liberal parent and heap my nest up with food, like all the Owl and Hawk Brotherhood.

If I wish a Hen or a Goose or a Turkey I take it, though I may only care to eat the head; for I am very dainty, and any one is welcome to what I leave.

I also like wild game--Ruffed Grouse particularly; but I eat rabbits and rats enough too, I warrant you.

I could give you a long list of the evil-minded rodents I kill in every one of the States where I live; but I won't, for you might think I wished to prove myself no cannibal.

I don't care what you think of me; for I am able to take care of myself, and quite independent.
"I do not even have to build my own nest.
