Foreiffn Birds at the L.C.B.A. Shorv. 
3 
Mr. n. Soth-Smith judged the Parrot Classes (155 to 
103); Mr. H. D. Astley, Classes, IGG, 176 to 185; and Mr. 
R. J. Watts the remainder, viz.: 164-5, 167 to 175, and 186 
to 188. 
Class 155. Alt; Species CofKAToos, Etc. (8). The 
rarest (>ii'd liore was a Hahn's Macaw (Ara hahni), one of the 
smaller Macaws, having a total length of 13 inches, of which 
the tail measures nearly (>. The general body colour is green 
lightly washed with yellowish beneath; forehead and band 
above the eyes blue; bend of wing and under wing-coverts 
scarlet; bare skin round eyes whitish; beak black. Its range 
is Guiana, Trinidad, and Rio Branco. An elegantly formed 
bird, which will greatly improve after the next moult. 
The other seven exhibits are all well known species. 
1, Miss A. B. Smyth, Ilalin's Macaw; 2, 4, Mrs. Taylor, Bare- 
eyed, and L. Sulpluir-crestcd Cockatoos, both good ; 3, R. Mason. Sulphur- 
crested Cockatoo, very smart; 5, M. E. Newmarsh, Red and Yellow 
Macaw (wrongly described in catalogue as Military Macaw, which is nearly 
all green) ; 6, 7. T. Dawson, Sulphur-crested Cockatoos. A very good and 
tame Rose.ate Cockatoo was also staged. 
Class 156. Geey and Amazon Parrots (17). The 
most uncommon here were the Green -cheeked, Salvin's and 
Double-fronted Amazons. No less than six each of Grey 
Parrots, and Blue -fronted Amazons were staged, the former 
not being so fine a lot as the writer has seen in the past, 
though including some good birds; while the latter demon- 
strated to some extent the variability of colour arrangement 
common to this species. 
1, Miss J. Smyth, Green-cheeked Amazon, excellent colour, tight 
and silky; 2, .J. Frostick, excellent Double-fronted .Amazon; 3, 4, A.. Silver, 
Salvin's and Mealy Amazon, a beautiful couple; 5 J. Dewhurst, a good 
Grey G. Mrs. John.'stone, 7. J. Ditchfield. two good Blue-fronts. 
Class 157. Lovebirds. Etc. (15). An interesting 
class, but the placing caused much dissatisfaction and comment. 
An excellent pair of Red-faced Lovebirds of Miss A. B. Smyth's 
were very unfortunate in being unplaced. No less than five 
species of Lovebirds (if we include Blue-wings) and two 
Brotogcrys were staged; all were good, several exceptionally 
so. Dr. Lovell-Keays exhilnted two of the best and tightest 
Red -headed Lovebirds the writer has ever seen, but they were 
two cocks, and so had to be passed. A most interesting lot. 
1. 6, Miss A. B. Smytli, Peach-faced Lovebirds and Tui Parrakeets, the 
latter might have been higher; 2, Dr. Lovell-Keays, charming pair of 
Orange-flanked Parrakeets, like silk, finger tame ; 3, 7, C. T. Maxwell,
