AH the birds were in excellent condition and seem- 

 ingly already established; the aviary is too young- yet to write 

 of breeding re&ults, but one young Zebra Finch is on the wing. 

 The above lists should prove of practical utility as indicating 

 what birds are kept together in the same aviary. So fai- 

 the Red -collared Lorikeets have not attacked the foliage, in 

 fact have done no whittling at ail, Ivcing apparently quite con- 

 tent with suckiag the privet blossoms. Indian White-eyes have 

 built a typical nest in an Acuba bush, but the two Q^^-i are 

 infertile.

Tlij capture the other day of a Cuckoo in an exhausted 

 conditio:: in the churchyard of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, is an 

 interesting, although by no means unique, event, there being, 

 of course, many instances on record in which members of iho 

 bird creation— and, indeed, the zoological world generally—have 

 found themselves in unnatural surroundings. 



It is not a little interesting to note that upon the spire 

 of the same church, where the Cuckoo has just been found, 

 there was to be seen a t one time at regular intervals, a falcon, 

 which appeared to have a special predilection for this particular 

 neighbourhood. 



Here are a few of the numerous instances which have 

 occurred in recent years, in which, so far as the ^ feathered 

 creation are coiice.ned, queer p^a es have been telecteJ by some 

 of the better known varieties. 



Swan on a railway carriage roof at Luton. 



Woodcock in the Temple. 



Snipe in Marylebone-road.
