“Avilude, or Game of Birds,” was published by West & Lee in 1873. As you might expect, you collect sets of birds, thus learning some natural history as you compete.
The classification of birds is eccentric, and worth reprinting: wading, pigeon tribe, honey eaters, web-footed, birds of prey, running birds, singing birds, talking.

Is it possible Victor Hugo did this one too? The Victor Hugo landscape is lovely!

I am also of the pigeon tribe.

I am an Ostrich fan and love to see them run on those big strong legs with lots of “baggage” in the rear end.
