Hay unas avecitas en esta tierra que son muy pequenitas, que parecen más moscardones que aves. Hay muchas maneras dellas. Tienen el pico chiquito, negro y delgadito, así como aguja. Hace su nido en los arbustos. Ahí pone sus huevos y los enpolla, y saca sus pollitos. No pone más de dos huevos. Come o mantiénese del rocío de las flores, como las abejas. Es muy ligero; voela como saeta. Es de color pardillo. Renuévase cada año, en el tiempo del invierno: coélganse de los árboles por el pico; allí colgados se secan y se les caye la pluma; cuando el árbol torna a reverdecer, él torna a revivir, y tórnale a nacer la pluma; y cuando comienza a tronar para lluver, entonces despierta y se voele y resucitan. Es medicinal para las bubas, comido; y el que los come nunca tendrá bubas; pero hace estéril al que los come.
