The Dutch saw also, but at too great a distance to shoot them, buffalos, stags, and ostriches, and from a single nest they obtained ten ostrich eggs.
The fairy brought a great basket full of feathers, plucked from every kind of bird--nightingales, canaries, linnets, larks, doves, thrushes, peacocks, ostriches, pheasants, partridges, magpies, eagles--in fact, if I told them all over, I should never come to an end; and all these feathers were so mixed up together, that they could not be distinguished.
