The Medal will be awarded only in cases where the young shall live to

be old enough to feed themselves, and to be wholly independent of their

parents.


The account of the breeding must be reasonably full, so as to afford

instruction to our members, and should describe the plumage of the young,

and be of value as a permanent record of the nesting and general habits of the

species. These points will have great weight when the question of awarding

the Medal is under consideration. The decision of the Committee shall

be final.


The Medal will be forwarded to each member as soon after it shall

have been awarded as circumstances will permit.



The Medal is struck in bronze, and measures 2\ inches in diameter.

It bears on the obverse a representation of two birds with a nest containing

eggs, and the words “The Avicultural Society—Founded 1894.” On the

reverse is the following inscription: “Awarded to (name of donee) for

rearing young of (name of species) a species not previously bred in captivity

in the United Kingdom.
