If unfortunate accidents do, however, hap- 

 pen to birds getting loose, I think the best 

 thing that can be done is merely to keep 

 them wrapped up warmly for a day or two, 

 feedirhg them with egg or milk from a quill, 

 if their heads have been badly bruised, as 

 often happens. Should they meet with a 

 fall or blow so severe as to stun them in 

 their rapid flight, a few moments genera-lly are 

 sufficient to bring them to themselves, and 

 they must be held in the hand or put into a 

 soft cage to recover, as otherwise they begin 

 at once to beat about in a great fright : a 

 little cold water dropped on the head and 

 bill, is the best thing for them ; and after 

 such escapades, the cage should be shaded 

 for an hour or two to give the patient a 

 little time to rest, when, if it is not seriously 

 injured, it will soon be again quite comfort- 

 able.
