AVIARIES, BIRD-ROOMS AND CAGES. n 



The roof is of great importance, as a leaky covering 

 is always a source of trouble and expense. No doubt 

 the ideal one is made with tiles, though this is rather 

 expensive when compared with wood and felt. But it 

 is so much superior that it is well worth the extra outlay. 

 Tiled roofs always look well, and can be relied upon 

 to last for years. 



Nails, screws, and wire staples, will of course be 

 required, hinges for doors, and a few holdfasts, and 

 possibly one or two iron brackets for strengthening 

 corners.
