My Present and Past Aviaries.

{Contiiviid from page 90). 
My Past Aviaeies: These were situated at Leeds and 
I was not then a member of F.B.C. There I mostly kept 
Waterfowl, Pheasants, Parrots, Cockatoos, and Macaws. 
The Waterfowl Aviary, of which three photo-i-cpioduc- 
tions are given, was 36 x 30 feet, with a stream lauining 
thi'ougli it.
