Brimlea "From my experience with this bird I cannot fairly say that I consider the species untameable, though I confess I have not made much headway in reducing her to submission. [...] She is undoubtedly fierce, and thoroughly appreciating the value of her equipment of muscle and claw, and considering any infringement of vested rights a casus belli , soon teaches a meddlesome intruder that no liberties whatever will be tolerated" (p. 194).
