My Aviary and Birds. 



271 



I was always fond of birds. After a breakdown in 

 health I was advised to keep in the fresh air as much as 

 possible, and J cannot imagine a more suitable hobby than 

 lav'iculturc, especially when violent exercise is barred. The 

 birds are of intense interest, summer and winter, and I shall 

 not attempt to count the number of happy healthy hours spent 

 in the garden, which would otherwise have been spent indoors.
