JOURNAL OF HORTICULTUBB AND COTTAGE GAKDENER. 



[ February 19, 1874. 



609, and 618, Mr. Doel's, were also very beautiful. There were 

 besides many Mules which were strikingly handsome, both 

 Light and Dark. There were also three Black Goldfinch Mules, 

 literally black — partly cases of hempseed, doubtless. There was 

 a Bullfinch and Goldfinch Mule, form of the former chiefly, 

 colour of the latter chiefly; Siskin Mxiles, Greenfich Mules, Sec. 



Cages containing six Canaries follow; then come Bullfinches, 

 Goldfinches, Linnets, Siskins, Redpoles, Skylarks, and Robins, 

 Oh ! Bobby Robin, I would rather not have seen you caged, 

 though Miss Robinson's cages, cottage-shaped, are neat, warm, 

 and show good taste in make and usually in colour. Blackbirds 

 and Thrushes, Starlings — one, No. 831, seems to be a most 

 talkative gentleman — two Magpies, and one Jay, three Jackdaws, 

 and oh ! bad taste, in black cages. Contrast, contrast, good ex- 

 hibitors, is what is wanted. 



Among the Any other variety of British birds were a pair of 

 Bearded Tits, the lady most properly not bearded ; a brown 

 cock Blackbird, a good solid brown colour; two Choughs sent 

 by Lady Dorothy Nevill, Bramble Finches, &c. ; No. 855, a good 

 collection of British Finches, thirteen varieties ; several Snow 

 Buntings, Mealy Linnets, &c., and a pair of Blue Tits in a cage 

 of virgin cork, a most snug-looking abode ; a few Blackcaps, 

 and one Nightingale, and he had no tail ! So much for the 

 British birds. 



FOREIGN BIRDS. 



These were highly ornamental. Among them glowed Red- 

 headed Cardinals, Australian Parakeets, a most splendid crim- 

 son-winged Parrot (No. 921), and a Rosella Parrot (No. 923), 

 these two perhaps the most beautiful of all the larger birds in 

 the Show; King Parrots and Indian Parakeets, and the good 

 old-fashioned African Grey Parrot, as a talker unequalled — these 

 birds are now dear, as none have been imported, owing to 

 Ashantee and other African troubles, for the last two years; 

 Cockatoos of many kinds, looking as if they could say anything 

 if they chose. There were many smaller foreign birds — an 

 Ortolan, suggestive of gourmands; a Solitary Thrush, possibly 

 " the Sparrow that sitteth alone on the housetop " of the Bible ; 

 a Mocking Bird, Avadavats, and many others ; a Saffron Finch 

 (No. 990), which looked a Hkely bird to cross with the Canary ; 

 and a great crowd of other small foreign birds. There was in 

 addition, and rightly, a large Selling class, so that anyone whose 

 fancy led him to buy could at once carry out his wish. 



In conclusion I would strongly recommend a uniformity of 

 cages. At present the rows resembled the houses of most London 

 streets — one tall, the next short; one narrow and high, the next 

 broad and low. Also the cages should be warm, wooden back 

 and sides, and wire front. I was glad that I saw no treadmill 

 cages, and only one poor bird braced round the body and obliged 

 to pull up a little waggon to get food and a bucket to get water ; 

 this a mere ingenious piece of cruelty to be reproved, not praised. 

 All the arrangements reflected the highest credit iipon Mr, 

 "Wilson, who afiorded by this Show pleasure to thousands. —
