Captain G. A. PkrrKAU,



G. G. are aviary cages (see Figs. I. and III.) four in

number, in two tiers. Each has a door 2ft. by 2ft. 6in. high, in

the bottom of which is a 6iu. high door to allow safe feeding,

There was a large door between each pair, but this was taken

away as it was such a nuisance having to go into the Parrakeet

shelter to feed birds in the far aviary cages. The floor of the top *

tier is of zinc sheets fixed on 1 in. planks.


H. is a set of shelves 6 by i£ by 8ft. high, which I had j

used previously as shelves and cages. The two bottom shelves

are still used as shelves, the remaining top ones form cages i^ft.

high, each of which can be partitoued into three. The top of the

top shelf is covered with zinc and the space above is at the

disposal of the birds in the Finch aviary.


Corners more or less cosy are formed by boarding in the

near corner of the Finch aviary and the far corner of the

Parrakeet aviary, and a foot wide plank runs along the top of the

aviary cages (see figures).


There are two small 6in. square openings in the wall on

the ground level between the verandah and the shelter. The

idea was that these openings would be useful for ground birds,

odd cripples or young, but they are a bit too small.


Shelves (gin. at sides and i2iu. at end) cover all available

wall space of store-room.

The work-table is usually untidy with tools, bits of wood

and wire, food tins in use, &c. Underneath it really is untidy.
