STARTING OUTDOOR AVIARIES.


Sir,—I have been so much interested in Mr. Temple’s article on his

experiences in starting an out-door aviary. I think members hardly realise

what a help to others, when described, struggles are, and many hints they

give are the greatest assistance to others. Would any member give their

experiences of starting an out-door parrakeet aviary; it would be most use¬

ful if someone of experience would tell others what Parrakeets have been

found to agree together, especially through the nesting period. Could

some experienced member say if they have found it possible to keep say a

pair of finches, such as Parrot-finches or Gouldian Finches, with Parra¬

keets, such as Stanley and Kings. I should much like to keep even a pair

of these but do not know if it is safe to put them together at breeding time.

I have found Budgerigars most vicious with Canaries.
