A Y(>1 low -winged Sugarhird has Ivcen added since, 
and was in exhibition trim wlie;! T had tlie lopportunily of seeing 
it dui'ing a visit in mid-October. 
Tlie Parrakeet Aviary is situated some distance away 
at one side of the garden, faced liy a small wood. This consists 
of a roomy shed and flight, the whole of which is roofed in, 
the front and one end of flight l>eing wire netting. Here were 
housed in some numliers: 
Budgerioans, Cockateels, White Java Sparrows, and Madagascar 
Lovebirds. Also Napoleon, Madagascar, Orange, Red-billed, Russ' and 
and other Weavers — all in the best condition. 
Breeding results are usually good, and annuaUy a fair 
number of Budgerigars and Cockateels are reared. 
This 1>rief look round Mr. Haggle's aviaries and birds 
brought our pleasant and intevesting tour to an end, and a 
prosaic railway joui'uey from O.xford to London, with a liuri ied 
glimpse round jny own modest series, were the concluding 
episodes. 
Now my task is flnislicd, it lias l>een a lengthy one, also 
a pleasant on(^ — to recall tiic vai-ious visits, meetings and 
experienc(>s Avith otiier aviculturists whom we met by the way, 
and their kind reception and genial hospitality— iis jkmi has glided 
over paper, I'ccoiding the A-ai'ious visits and desci'ibing the 
aviaries and birds ; and, 1 can only hope that the account 
has been of iiractical interest, commensurate with the space it 
has occupied in our club jcmi'iial. 
A';/ passdiif. I musf express our thanks and apprecia- 
tion to Mr. 11 aggie, senioi', for his kind loan of the touring 
car, whicl; made such j)leasant and interesting experienqes 
possible; and in like manner I tiiank m>- renders for allowing 
me to inflict this series upon them. 
Now i,s a, iiuid word. I nrye all those Members whose 
aviaries and birds are described herein, to send in accounts of 
the doings in the aviaries duidng the season, and moi'e amplified 
details of tl)eir accojninodation and colb^ct ion than has been 
possible for me to include in so lengthy a series. Such Avoukl, 
I am assured, pi-oV(^ a most interesting and practical sequel 
to what I have written herein.
