WHAT SHALL HE EAT? 6l 



Raw green peas are a great delicacy for 

 some of the larger birds, who take them out 

 of the pod, then remove the shell of each pea, 

 eating the inner part with great relish. They 

 are not hurtful. Orange seeds are much liked 

 by a cockatoo I know. He appears nearly 

 wild whenever oranges are eaten in his pres- 

 ence, until the seeds are given to him, when 

 he eagerly shells them, and eats every one. 

 They do not appear to disagree with him. 

 Within the limits denned, a bird should have 

 as much variety as possible to keep him in 

 health and spirits.
