one side of tho garden, with a shelter at one end, the end of 
the slielter being entirely open to the flight. Its occupants 
were : 
Barbary Turtle Dovrs . Partridgrs 1 cf and 2 9- 
Common Turtle Doves. Hybrid Guid X Amherst Pheasiints . 
The Common Turtle Doves have reared young several 
times and have also crossed with the Barbary Turtle Dove, the 
hybrids of which have proved fertile among themselves and 
also when paired with either species. 
No. 5. A similar aviary which housed: 
Japanese Silkie.';, Golden Pheasants, Alpine Chough, and a very 
fine Jackdaw (pnre white, but not pink eyes). 
No. (J. A smaller enclosure given up to Silver 
Pheasants. 
No. 7. A similar enclosure given up to a pair 
of Magpies. A truly grand pair of birds, which have 
nested on several occasions, and though fully twelve eggs have 
been laid, there has been no other result. 
No. 8. Given up to a very fine Kestrel Hawk, which

No. 9. This is the Parrakeet Aviary, and contained

Quaker Parrakeefs. Budgerigars (a floek). 
Kiug-neeked Parrakeets. Madagascar Lovebirds. 
Cockateels. Black-cheeked Lovebirds. 
Rosella Parrakeets. Palagoniar Conure. 
Passerine Parrakeets . Calif ornian Quail . 
Blood-rump Parrakeets. 
On a former visit I had the pleasure of seeing young 
Quaker Parrakeets in their interesting home of twigs, built on 
to the aviar>- front, the top of the nest, which was well covered 
in, projecting through the netting of the top of aviary. There 
were two broods of Quakers hatched during 1914, consisting 
of two Squabs on each occasion, and of these three were reared 
to maturity. Young Budgerigars were everywhere, and several 
Cockateels in nestling plumage were being fed by their 
parents . 
No. 10. Given up to a very tine Eaven, most certainly 
the finest specimen the writer has ever seen in captivity. Its 
plumage was perfect and very lustrous, not a feather out of
