and if you put an empty cage beside the other, and 

 scatter some seed in it, they will hop in quite good- 

 naturedly. All you want is some contrivance to 

 close the door upon them. When they find them-

 but make themselves at home and behave in a friend- 

 ly manner to the former occupants. 



There are many kinds of foreign Munias, and some 

 species from other parts of India, which find their 

 way to the market and thence to the aviaries, but 

 those I have mentioned are all that we have to do 

 with here.
