246 APPENDIX A. 



tlie transport of very wild birds, as they are quite unable 

 to dasli themselves against the roof or sides of the cage in 

 which they are inclosed. 



I need hardly say that should a bird be confined a long 

 time in this manner it would be necessary to loosen the wings 

 alternately, otherwise a stiff or contracted joint might ensue. 

 This would be obviated by allowing the bird the free use of 

 each wing for a short period.
