The Farrakeet Aviary : This is a new structure, and an 

 excellent aviary, too. The back and one end consist of concrete 

 built dog" kennels of which there are three, each one forming' 

 a roomy shelter, and all have outlets to the same roomy flight, 

 which also is well sheltered by a thick shrubbery bordering the 

 lawn. It contained the follow^ing : 



I pair Pennant's Parrakeets (Platycercus elegans). 



I pair Peach-faced Lovebirds {Agapornis roseicapilla).

 secure against rats and other vermin. 



JAizun Birdroow : This is a small wooden portable 



building, for the purpose of breeding and flighting canaries. 

 The only alien it contained was an exquisite Crimson Finch.
