CHAPTER XI 



SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WHICH CONFRONT 

 BEGINNERS 



THE writer does not begin this chapter without 

 realizing the magnitude of the task which would 

 confront anyone who undertook to give in detail 

 remedies for all the ills which birds are heir to. 

 Even were he able to cope with such a task, it 

 would be impossible in a book of anything like 

 this size, to do so. But he knows from the let- 

 ters of inquiry which he receives, that there are 

 many people who seek just a few opinions 

 just a few suggestions from someone who has had 

 even a little more experience than they have 

 had, and whom they feel will be working along 

 with them for the welfare of their mutual friends 

 the birds. It is principally for these and 

 such as these that this chapter is written. 



Storms 



There seems to be little we can do to prevent 

 birds from being killed as a direct result of storms.
