CRYSTAL PALACE BIRD SHOW. 



This was opened on the loth iust., and will be concluded 

 to-day. The entries amounted to upwards of a thousand, and 

 great interest was manifested by the public iu the Show. 



Perhaps the most notable of the British birds was the class 

 for Nightingales — thirteen birds, and most of them in high 

 conditiou and perfect feather, aud yet one was surprised at the 

 variety of form aud colour, scarcely any two beiug alike. We 

 are generally apt to think that most wild birds are alike, if not 

 quite so in colour they are in form ; but a visit to the Bird Show 

 will soon disabuse us of this idea. Even the well-known Robin 

 was there to be seen with very long legs, beside one of more 

 comely make ; so to a naturalist these shows are exceedingly 

 interesting. Witness again the common or song Thrush as seen 

 at the Crystal Palace; one with nearly a white breast spotted 

 finely with black, aud within a cage near it another of brilliant 

 orange colour. The Goldfinch class was good, aud contained as 

 usual several Cheverils. The Linnets were an average class ; 

 the Bullfinches a brilliant lot. The first prize went to a very 

 neat and compact bird, and good in colour. In the Eedpole and 

 Siskin class the Judges thought it advisable to award a prize to 

 each variety. Only one Missel Thrush was shown, and this, 

 strange to say, was white or nearly so, the markings only faintly 

 showing on a white ground. The Magpies were a good class, 

 and not only contained some hanikome birds, but also excellent 

 talkers. The whole class of Jays-frere out of condition save one, 

 which deservedly got the prize for great beauty. Duly a couple 

 of Jackdaws, one Starling, and one pair of Lesser Whitethroata 

 were present. The Blackcaps were good. Amongst the curiosi- 

 ties were a Pied Blackbird aud a Brown Cinnamon cock Black- 

 bird, neither in good feather. Iu the foreign classes the Grey 

 Parrots were not up to the mark. The great Sulphur-crested 

 Cockatoos were fine, and so the Rose-colour. Only one Lead- 

 beater was seut, and this not a good specimen. The Parakeets 

 were in force, and much admired ; aud there were some splendid 

 Lorys, very fine in colour; also a Chilian Starling, good in the 

 latter quality. There were two varieties of Piping Crow from 

 Australia, Waxbills (the African and the St. Helena), Madagascar 

 and Australian Finches, Cardinals, and also Virginian Nightin- 

 gales, and others too numerous to mention. Altogether the 

 Show was rich in variety, and reflected great credit on the 

 Superintendent of the Natural History Department at the Crystal 

 Palace, Mr. W. F. Wilson, of whom we can say that he was 

 courtesy personified, and was also unremitting in his attention 

 to the wants aud comforts of his feathered friends. We hope to 

 see his cheery face ou such occasions for many a long year to 

 come. The Judges of this department were Mr. John "jeuner 

 Weir, F.L.S., and Mr. Harrison Weir, F.R.H.S., who seemed to 

 enjoy and almost revel in the discharge of the duties of their 

 office.
