BIRD NOTES: 
THE 
JOURNAL OF THE FOREIGN BIRD CLUB 
Notes on the Cape White-eye (Zosterops capensis). 
Two pairs of these birds came into my possession in the 
autumn of last year, brought home by my brother from the 
Cape. One pair I sold and the other I accommodated for the 
winter in a roomy cage with a Yellow-winged Sugar-bird. 
All wei'e fed on a sop of broken ice wafers and diluted 
Swi.ss milk (witliout tlie a Iditiou of ;mythiu<i else) and bananas, 
and throve well on this diet. 
I found a daily bath essential, as otherwise their plum- 
age became matted with sticky food. All moulted out nicely 
early in the year and were turned into an out-door aviary in 
mid April. 
1 regret to say the Sugar Bird died on the 10th July
