birds remain together, but if the 

 young ones do not fly to satisfaction 

 it is the best plan to separate the 

 parents and pair them differently. 



The best time for flying in summer 

 is first thing in the morning ; good 

 birds will fly all day, but I can as- 

 sure my readers these long flyers are 

 very scarce, and it takes a many 

 years to procure them to perfection. 

 The best plan is to get a few good 

 birds and breed your own young ones 

 from them. If you get a good breed 

 of birds and have luck to breed some 

 strong young ones from them you 

 may by chance get a few of these 

 extraordinary long flyers, but I can 

 tell you that money will not buy 

 them unless you are a great friend 

 and the owner is giving up the fancy.
