1 82 FEATHERED FRIENDS. 



One other point of difference I remember exists 

 between this bird and the Red-face : the latter is delicate 

 and will soon succumb to a moderate amount of cold, 

 whereas the Peach-face is comparatively hardy and, 

 providing it has a comfortable place to sleep in, can 

 be wintered here with safety out of doors, which is 

 rather curious as both species come from almost the 

 same part of Africa. 



A friend of mine tried to obtain mules between a 

 hen Peach-face and a cock Red-face, and at one time 

 there seemed a probability that he might succeed, but 

 he did not, though I do not remember exactly why. 



The scientific name is Agapornis roseicollis.
