tachitohuía porque canta diciendo su cantar, que es tachitohuía.
\nHay una ave en esta tierra que se llama cuauhtotopotli, que quiere decir que agujera los árboles. Llámase también cuauhchochopitli, que quiere decir que pica los árboles. Y también se llama cuauhtatala, que quiere decir que golpea en los árboles. Tiene el pico agudo como punzón, y recio y fuerte como piedra de navaja. Es ceniciento. Es muy ligero; sube por los árboles arriba, y vuela de un árbol a otro. Agujera los árboles con el pico. Agujera los árboles, por duros que sean. Come gusanos. Hace nido y cría dentro del agujero que hace en el árbol.
\nHay una ave que se llama poxácuatl, que quiere decir "tonto". Creo es sisón. Parece sea [sic] a la lechuza. Tiene las plumas respelocadas. Voela como la lechuza, a tochas y a necias. Por eso se llama poxácuatl.
\nHay otra ave que se llama huitlálotl. Mora en las montañas. Es como gallina montesa. Es parda escura, como ahumada. Tiene un tocadillo de plumas. Es de comer.
