My Tanagers. 
By Miss M. IlorsriKLn. 
Tanagers are most dcdi.i^fitfu.l l;irds to keep; tlioir plu- 
mage is so gorgeous and lusti'ous, and in most cases tlicy also 
become very tame. 
During the summer they all go into my small outdoor 
aviaries, three or four pairs in each. 
During the winter months they occupy roomy cages 
(5ft. X '2ft. X 2ft.) in an outdoor shed, in the centre of whicii 
stands a small stove, but this is only lighted in very cold 
weather. Each cage can 1>e disilcd into two compartments 
by a central slide of wo!)d or wire. They arc fitted with zinc 
trays, and small iH'anches arc placed at each end, so that the 
birds have a good tiight and get plenty of exercise in Hying 
from one to the other. I use sawdust in the trays and keej) 
bowls of sand and grit standing thereon. 
The food vessels, china linwls, are inside the cage, 
and the menu consists of : a good insectivorous mixture and 
plenty of ripe fruit, such as h.anana, orange, pear, grapes, 
or anything in season; they also get a few mealworms. Last 
year they had no milk-sop and seem to keep tighter in 
feather without it. 
I lost my favourite, the Wliite-capiied Tanager, last 
year and have been unable to replace it. 
At the present time I only possess the following species : 
Necklace {Chlorophonia riridis) . 
Festive {CaUisic f estiva).
