The Kestrel Hawk.

Diseases and their Treatment. — The Kestrel is a hardy 

 bird, and rarely ails anything when allowed its liberty and 

 fed regularly. If too much liver or lights be given, laxness 

 of the bowels is produced ; this can be remedied by its dis- 

 continuance for a time, and feeding on raw flesh. Mice 

 and birds are suitable when this state of the bowels is 

 observed. When the bird has recovered, give raw meat 

 as well.
