The Bikdroom pkopkr or Upper Bikdkoom contained 
the following, taken in the order of a walk round, from left to 
right. 
The first flight, about 
6 ft. X 5 ft. X 6 ft., 
contained a pa i r of 
Purple-capped Lories 
(^Lo7iiis doniicella), in 
lovely colour and con- 
dition, and from the 
appearance of the hen 
she was evidently 
about to lay. Mr. 
Willford has been 
very fortunate in hav- 
ing some old fruit 
trees, which had been 
grubbed out because 
they were exhausted ; all these trunks had rotten cores and have 
supplied admirable material for natural nest logs, and each Parra- 
keet flight and aviary is well equipped with these. The next 
flight of similar sizecontaned a pair of Many-Coloured Parrakeets 
(^Psephotus multicolor'), fast coming into beautiful colour and con- 
dition. Now succeed more than a dozen flights about 3 ft. square 
by about the same height, containing : pair Ariel Toucans, look- 
ing very fine and handsome in their contrasting and brilliant 
plumage ; $ King Parrakeet {Aprosmictus cyanopygius'), very 
beautiful ; one pair very brilliant Stanley Parrakeet {Plaiycerctis 
icterolis), this is not merely a beautiful species, but for the avicul- 
turist one of the most interesting of the Platycerci ; one pair 
Brown's Parrakeets (/*. brotvni), very uncommon and a very 
handsome Broadtail, Mr. Willford is to be congratulated on the 
possession of so rare a species; two immature Crimson-winged 
Parrakeets {Psittes eryihropicriis) ; about a score of Bengalese and 
one very fine Lavender Finch ; one pair Black-cheeked Lovebirds 
{Agapor7iis iiigrigenis) with young ; i pair Blue-bonnet Parrakeets 
{Psephotiis hczmatorJio7cs) very beautiful ; pairs each of Rosella 
(/*. eximus) and Pennant's Parrakeets (P. elega7is) very rich in
