The Foreign Bird Club. 



Notices to Members. 



Club Badges: It will greatly further the social side pf 

 the Iclub, if now the exhiMtion season is practically commencing! 

 each member would procure a badge and wear it at the various 

 shows; it would be a means of introduction to each other, and 

 undoubtedly lead, to the making of many interesting acquaintances. 



Club Meetikgs: The last meeting at the Zoo for ,this 

 season will be held on Wednesday, October 18th, and will be an 

 all day gathering. Rendezvous: Small Birds' House, at 11 a.m. 

 and again at 2 pi.m. for those who cannot he present in the 

 morning. It is hop-ed that as many members as possible wiK 

 make an effort to be present, and also to notify the Hon. Editor, 

 that adequate arrangements may be made. Members are requested 

 to note the date as the meeting is almost simultaneous with the 

 P'ublication of October issue, and a reminder may not be possible. 



Breeding Medals: A full list will be published in next 

 issue (October) and the medals distributed before the close of the 

 year. 



Parrots, Parkakeets, and Lories: Members who keep, 

 these groups, are requested to send in notes and descriptions of 

 their aviaries and birds. 



Mice and Avian Pests: It would be of general practical 

 interest if members would give their experiences in Tlealing wilth 

 aviary vermin (mice, rats, etc.), and measure of success achieved. 

 We press this matter upon members' attention. Can any member 

 sn,ggest ;a chemical, or some fluid, which can be squii'ted down 

 their iruns, which will render them uninhaibitahle to 'these pests 

 and pet not pois^on the groimd for plants and herbage ?
