1 knew of a riouldian Finch which lived twelve years, and I hoped to 
keep mine as longf, as he was quite healthy if somewhat decrepit. The others 
mentioned show no signs of age. 
Some time ag^o I lost, by accident, an old cock Sparrow, which had 
found its way into the aviary fourteen years before; there was no telling how 
old lie was — he might have been fourteen then ! I suppose there are not 
man\- pre-war (iouldians alive in England to-day?
