Nesting licsidtfi at Parle Lodge Aviaries. 
cock had so mauled the hen, that she died next day, but in an 
aviary they were quite peaceful. 
One attempt at building a nest was made, but it came 
to nothing, and soon after that I sold the cock and a si:are hen 
which I had, sending them away in separate cages.

Nesting Results for 1914 at Park Lodge Aviaries 
By Dk. L. Lovell-Keays, F.Z.S. 
The Editor has asked me for my breeding results, and 
this must be my excuse for rushing into print. I fear the re- 
sults are really " nothing to write home about," but I can only 
hope they will interest my readers as niucii, or even half as 
much as they interested me when they occurred. 
I am including one or two late 1913 results in my 
list, as I only commenced serious aviculture then, and the 
results have never been recorded or noted. 
First I will record in tabular form the species bred, 
in the order in which they occurred, and begin with the smaller 
birds, such as F ring ill idae, Ploceidae, etc., afterwards dealing 
with the larger Psittaci.
