the capture of any l>ird while feedinf;:. Most of the aviaries 
contained ample shelters, but one or two were summer quarters 
only, many of the birds goin,^ into the liirdroom for the winter 
months. The aviaries given up mainly to Parrakeets are very 
naturall\ fitted up with branches, from pieces six or more 
- inclu'S in diameter, to others willi ;i dianicter not more than 
half -inch; logs, barrels, banjo nest boxes (see plate opposite 
page 217 of current volume), and well p'anned feeling ari'ange- 
ments make these aviaries very practical and complete. That 
the birds apjii-cciate the arrangements made for their comfort 
is indicated liy the number of species that go to nest, Mr. 
Shore Baily having been faiidy successful with several species 
of Weavers, a group which cannot by any means be called free 
breeders, though they have nested and reared, or partially 
reared, .young nuich more frequently of late years. The various 
photo-reproductions which have appeared in " B.N." at various 
times also indicate how readily the birds adapt themselves to 
the natural cover pi'ovided. 
I must now proceed to note the birds which were in 
the various aviaries, l:,ut our visit being an Easter one many 
of the birds were still in the Ivird-room. I should add that 
the aviary numbers used have no significance, licing inerely a 
matter of convenience for separation purposes the numlners 
only indicate the order in wliicli we went round the respective 
aviaries.
