Hay una avecilla en esta tierra que se llama ilamatótotl, que quiere decir "ave como vieja". Es pardilla. Es redondilla, y tiene el pico grosezuelo y corto. Tiene un tucadillo y anda por entre las casas y por los pueblos.
\nHay otra avecilla que se llama tlathuicicitli. Es semejante a la de arriba en la corpulencia y en la color; pero difiere en el canto, porque ésta tiene costumbre de cantar antes que amanezca. Y su canto es tlathuicicitli. Canta en los tlapancos y sobre las paredes, y despierta la gente con su cantar. Tlathuicicitli quiere decir: "¡Hola, hola, ya amanece!"
\nHay una ave que se llama chicuatótotl. Tiene el pico agudo y el pecho amarillo, y los lomos y alas y cola de color pardilla, como codorniz.
\nHay otra ave que se llama zacatlatli o zacatlaton. Es redondillo y de color ahumado. Y dice ser zacatlaton porque anda por las sabanas entre el heno. Come las semillas de los bledos.
\nHay otra ave que se llama tlapaltótotl, que quiere decir "ave colorada". Tiene todo el cuerpo colorado fino, y las alas y la cola pardi[llas]
