Xo. 1 . I'liis is unoccupied at present, but later 1 lioi)c to house 
a W andering- Tree-pie in it. 
Xo. _'. Here 1 liave placed, pairs only, the following species ; 
Cockateels (Calopsittacus novae-hoUandiac). 
Senegal Turtle Doves {Turtiir Senegal ens is). 
Red-headed Finches {Amadina erythrocephala). 
Saffron Finches {Sy calls flaveola). 
Here I intend adding later a pair of Red-rump Parrakeets 
{I'scphotus hacinatonotus). 
Xo. 3. This enclosure forms my largest aviary; size, etc., was 
given in a recent issue of Bird Notes, and in it are 
housed : 
I pair Rosella Parrakeets (Platycercus eximius). 
I pair White-wing Parrakeets (Brotogcrys virescens). 
1 pair Peach-faced Lovebirds {Agaponns roscicollis). 
I pair (Ireen Cardinals (Gubernatrix cristata). 
I, d, Virginian Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) . 
I. 9, Passerine Parrakeet (Psittacula passerina). 
A flock, Yellow and Green Budgerigars (Melopsittacus 
undiilatus). 
' am hoping to get either a pair of Black-headed (Conurus 
iiniday) or Speckled Conures (C. cuops). 
This aviary contains a fair amount of cover, and the ground 
area is planted with docks, grasses, and dandelions. I have 
recently planted some cree])ers on the outside, which will give 
shade in places during the summer months. 
No. 4. This enclosure is occupied by various colour forms of 
Melopsittacus undulatus, viz: 
I pair Blue-bred Green Budgerigars.

I, d, Olive-bred Budgerigar. 
No. 5. Here 1 have two pairs of Blue-bred Green Budgerigars, 
and have great hopes of breeding a Blue ! So far they 
have only inspected the nest boxes. 
Luck, both good and bad, appears to be a sine qua non of 
aviculture, if not of most things, and I had the bad luck to lose
