234 An Easter Tour Amofig Members' Aviaries. 
low, but more was expected in the course of the week 
We saw, either in the out -door aviary, shed, or in cage 
in the house, some nice young Grey Parrots, Melba and 
Red-headed Finches, Grassfinches, and two Grey-headed Bunt- 
ings, also some of the Small Ornamental Finches. 
Tuesday morning found us in the New Forest district, our 
first call being at Beaulieu. 
Dr. Gossb's Aviaries : Thfse were illustrated in 
"B.N." Vol. III., N.S., page 145, and I must refer my 
readers to the account given there. 
The aviaries are four in number, all in one range, and 
with inter -communication. The sheds are at the back, and 
the flight framing is rustic -woodwork. Except the Parrakeet 
aviary, all are nicely planted with Common and Portugal 
Laurel, Aucuba, Euonymus, Box, Hops, Privet, Bramble, Heli- 
anthus. Ribbon Grass, etc.; thus there is plenty of natural 
cover, and though a very mixed series is kept all agree 
very well together. 
The following species have all successfully reared young, 
some for several years in succession: Cutthroats, Zebra 
Finches, Budgerigars, Madagascar Lovebirds, Passerine and 
Red -rump Parrakeets, Diamond Doves, and Californian Quail. 
Reed Buntings (Emberi~a schoeniclus), nested and 
hatched out two young, but did not fully rear them. 
For several years Budgerigars (escapes in first 
instance) have been established in the high trees at the back 
of the aviaries, which are situated near the bank of an 
estuary of the Solent. 
We noted the following species in the various aviaries, 
the larger species being located with the Parrakeets, and with 
them are placed at the head of the list: 
E«d-rump Parrakeets ( Pscphoius haeirmtonotiis) . 
Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) . 
Madagascar Lovebirds (Agapornis carta). 
Passerine Parrakeets (Psittacula pasaerina). 
Rosy Pastor (Pastor roscus). 
Pekin Robin (Liothrix luteus). 
Californian Quail (Lophorti/x californicus) . 
Silky Cowbird (Molothm.'i honaricnsis) . 
Diamond Doves (Gropelia cuneata) . 
Cape Doves (Oena capensis).
