The scene of the tragedy was the nest of a pipit, or titlark, on the ground beneath a heather-bush.
"My Studio Neighbors"
William Hamilton Gibson
One of Mr. Barrington's linnets, for example, after being educated under a titlark, was put into a room with two birds of his own species, where he heard them sing freely every day for three months.

He made no attempt to learn anything from them, however, but kept on practicing what the titlark had taught him, quite unconscious of anything singular or unpatriotic in such a course.
