Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

Feeds mostly on insects, their eggs and larvae; also other arthropods and small molluscs; seeds and berries sometimes taken, particularly in autumn.
