fome in a light Place, and othei^ will chiife 

 a dark Place to build in. 



There ought to be two Windows in the 

 Room, one at each End, and feveral Perches 

 at proper Didances for the Birds to fettle up- 

 on, as they Fly backward and forwards. 

 You may fet likewife a Tree in fome con- 

 venient Place of the Room ; it will divert the 

 Birds, and fome of them will like to build in 

 it : You muft obferve that their Neft is fecure 

 from falling through, and if in Danger, to 

 tie the Tree cloler to prevent it, and they 

 will hatch there as well as in any other Place. 

 Remember not to put too many Birds toge- 

 ther, eight or ten Pair are enough for a mid- 

 dling Room. 



When your Birds are firft paired, as I di- 

 rcfted before, turn them into this Room ; 

 where they will live, as it were, a conjugal 

 Life, and notwithftanding there are feveral 

 Male and Female Birds in the fame Room, 

 one Cock and one Hen, as they firft coupled 

 together, will keep conftant to each other, 

 arid both concur and affift in fitting and feed- 

 ing their young : For the Cock-bird takes his 

 turn in Building the Neft, fitting upon the 

 Eggs, and feeding the young, as well as the 

 Hen.
