 wife give them a little icalded Rape-Seed, 

 and a little Rape and Canary-Seed by itfelf. 

 This is the Food that I feed young Canary- 

 Blrds with, that are brought up by the old 

 Ones •, I commonly feedthemwith this Food 

 till they have moulted off ; take particular 

 Care not to let the Rape-Seed be fower for 

 if It be, it gives them the Loofenefs, and 

 kills them. You muft likewife make your 

 foft Victuals frefh every Day, or every 

 other Day at fartheil, for I give them frefh 

 every Day. 



The next Thing is, what I fhould have 

 told you before, that is, how to feed them 

 and Pair them when you jBril: Pair them for 

 ' Breeding. I always put the Cock and Hen 

 together in a fmall Cage, fo that they may 

 be Paired before I turn them into the Room 

 or Cage where I defign for their Breeding. 

 1 feed them very well with foft Meat, that 

 is, Egg, Bread, N!aw-Seed, and a little 

 fcalded Rape-Seed, hardly a third Part of 

 Egg, and fo mix it very well together, as 

 I told you before, only I do not boil if for 

 the old Ones, as I do for the young Ones, 

 but grate the Bread and the Egg with the 

 Grater, fo mix it very well together, and 

 the Rape-Seed I boil as I told you before 

 for the young •t)nes. I hardly put one Part 

 of Rape-Seed to the Quantity of Bread and 

 E^^ 3 before they have young Ones, give 



them
