In Capt. J. S. Reeve's aviaries, Lincoln: 
Red-rump Parrakeets (I'scpliDliis luicinatoiiotus). j young birds being 
fed in the nest. 
S. Triangular-spotted Pigeons (C nl iiiiiba phaconota). These have two 
yotnig Stock Doves (C ocnas) in the nest, which are almost fully 
fledged. This foster-parentage is accounted for as follows : 
Spotted Pigeons have done well in Capt. Reeve's aviaries, 
and he w^ould like to naturalise them in his grounds. He 
discovered a Stock Dove's nest in a hole in a tree near the house 
and changed over the eggs, which the .Stock Doves hatched out 
and the young Triangular-spotted Pigeons are doing well and 
feathering fast in Stock Dove Castle, and by the time these notes 
appear sliould be flying at large". 
Bluk Budgerigar.s : The Hon. Mrs. Bourke reports 
that a pair, in her London birdroom, laid a clutch of eight eggs, 
seven of which duly hatched out and the fledglings are doing 
well, though seven is a good number for one pair to rear; but 
this number have been not infrequently reared by the ordinary 
Green Budgerigar.

ing species have successfully reared young this season :
