110 CANARY BIRDS. 



A glass dish for a bath ; with a wire bas- 

 ket, for suspending it in the aviary. 



A sieve, for sifting the seed or sand from 

 the husks or dirt, will be wanted. 



A piece of hard wood, twelve inches 

 square, made on the principle of what 

 housekeepers call a chopping-board ; that 

 is, having a back to it, and a low strip or 

 wall on each side. On this place your hemp- 

 seed, to crush it with a hard rolling-pin. 

 After using it, scrape and scald the board. 



A spatula, or apothecary's knife, and a 

 glass spoon, both of which must be kept 

 sweet and clean. 



To cleanse the floor of an aviary by re- 

 moving the sand, a hoe will be needed. A 

 trowel also, for scraping the corners of the 

 floor. 



The sand should be coarse, or rather 

 gravel. 



Of course, you will keep well supplied 

 with sponges, flannels, nail-brushes, seed 

 glasses, to replace broken ones.
