Ai-RICAX OW'l. 



This jaunty and Graceful little bird is much admired 

 and its delicacy alone probably keeps it from being 

 more extensively cultivated. It is a native of Africa 

 and the difference of temperature necessarily makes 

 it difficult for it to stand a great climatic change. In 

 shape it is compact vitli \e\-y round skull and short, 

 stout beak.
