The following examples will suffice:— In getting them so that they would let themselves be handled it was of almost no service to _take_ them and feed them while holding them or otherwise make that state pleasant for them. By far the best way is to wait patiently till they do come near, then feed them; wait patiently till they do take hold of your arm, then feed them. If you do take them and hold them partly by force, you must feed them only when they are comparatively still. In short, in taming them one comes unconsciously to adopt the method of rewarding certain of their impulses rather than certain _conditions_ which might be associated in their minds with ideas, had they such.
