Nesting Notf.s : Lord Ta\'istock reports a very unlucky 

 IjreecliiiL;' season -lots of ej^s^s. and a i^ood many yonnj^', but 

 very few reared. The Stanley Parrakeets have a.L;ain success- 

 fully reared youni;-. 



Mr. T. Ilebb. of Luton, writes: — I have had bad luck 

 this year, as I lost my youn^- Rosellas, and also younta: Red- 

 rumps, the former, 1 think, throui^h the boy i^'ivini;" them 

 i:;'roundsel that had bei^un to decay; the Red-rumps' barrel fell 

 down one coUl nii^ht, and they were all dead when I found them 

 next mornini;-. Neither of these pairs have t^one to nest since. 

 A good number of young- Budgerigars have been successfully 

 reared, but only two Black-cheeked Lovebirds, and no Peach- 

 face Lovebirds so far. 



j\Ir. H. Bright, of Cressington Park, is moving his 

 aviaries this year, owing to a change of residence, and though 

 nests and eggs have been very numerous this season, not many 

 young birds have been reared, it being impossible to avoid 

 disturbing them to some extent ; and consequently the season 

 has been less productive tlian usual with him. 



The followin.g species have young on the wing: — 



Long-tailed (irassfincli (I'ucpliila acittkauda). 

 Zebra Miicli (Taeuiopyoja castanotis). 

 Masked Dove (Aena capensis). 

 (irecn Cardinal (Gnhcrnatrix cristata). 

 \'u\K' Cardinal i I'aroaria doniliiica). 

 nianiond Dove (ucopclia cuncala). 



Rather a ]K)()r season, but there are more young in the 

 nests, and ,-1 i)air ot Ued-lieaded (lonldian I'inches are due to 

 hatch. 



The lulitor would be greatly obliged if other members 

 would send in records and articles.
