FOR CAGES AND A VI ARIES. 171 



The diseases to which the Redwing is subject are the 

 same as those of the Song Thrush, and are to be treated 

 in the same way. 



" Doctors differ" as much with regard to the song of 

 the Redwing as they do in the case of the Fieldfare, 

 Bechstein describing it as being as unmelodious as that 

 of the latter, while Morris declares that it is "exceedingly 

 beautiful, its high and varied notes rivalling those of the 

 Nightingale"!
