My Present and Past Aviaries. 
By J. W. Maesdbn. 
I will commence with the "present," and simply indi- 
cate the past l)y one or two photograi)hs and rough list of the 
aviaries and Inrds I possessed when residing at Leeds. 
My Pkesknt Finch Aviary : I am now residing at 
Harrogate and have at present two aviaries, one given up to 
Budgerigars and the other to Finches; the latter contains vari- 
ous Finches and Waxbills. 
This aviary answers well, but it has one fault, the 
shelter is too small; nevertheless it is a very useful aviary
