HUMMING BIRDS IN CAPTIVITY.


A member writes to correct the remarks as to humming birds in captivity.

To begin with, it appears that Mr. A. Ezra was not the first to be successful,

but our French member who has a wonderful collection of these birds in mag¬

nificent condition. He however attributes a large amount of his success to Mr.

Ezra’s original treatment of sunbirds, whose food is the same as that of the

humming birds.


It was in February of 1914 that our French member set out to bring back

his first hummers, which he successfully did. But long before this they were

imported.
