Tlic l)roa(l(M- and flatter part of tlie splint was lightly bound 
witli hlaek cotton to tlie fleshy thigh. The task was not- 
easy but by no means very difflcult. The result was at once 
surprising; whereas before, the bird had great diiriculty in 
balancing on the perch, and hopping about generally (the leg 
hanging down completely useless), as soon as the splint was 
aflixed, the bird could hop and perch quite comfortal)ly, and 
was ni)i for ever l)anging tlie helpless limb against objects in 
th(.' cage. The splint was kept on without any bother for 
nearly three weeks, I then removed the splint and found a 
very useful leg, although somc'whai shortened (about one twelfth 
of ,an inch). To-day, (December 10th, 1911) a month after the 
accident, the bird behaves as If nothing were the matter and 
can fly and extend the leg and scratch the body when perching 
without dilliculty. Surely one is amply repaid for any trouble 
taken.

After the introduction in December Bird Notes I will 
now deal with the various classes in detail 
BuuGHRTGAKs, LovRBiRDs, Etc.: This class does not 
call for special mention, the entrants, six (one absentee) all 
being in excellent (form — Mr. Townsend's veteran Blue-crowned 
Hanging Parrot especially so, being a perfect blaze of colour, 
and not a:feather out of place. 
1 S. M. Townsend, Blue -crowned Hanging Parrot; 2 .J. 
C. W. Meadows, Black-clieeked Lovebirds; 3 J. Mackenzie, same; 
4 and v.b.c. W. Edmunds, pairs of Yellow and Green Budgerigars. 
All Specieb Paeeakeets >(nine, one absentee): Here 
again good form was general, some of the species appear to 
have fared rather hardly. Mr. A. Ezra exhibited a beautiful 
lutino Ring-neck Parrakeet, a very rare exhibit and in beauti- 
ful form, clear yellow, and with pink eyes. M. Pauvvels' 
Uvean Parrakeet was in good trim, rare and not easy to keep 
tit in captivity, it is a beautiful species indeed, but rather 
dull in a cage (a coloured plate of this species appeared 
in ^B.iV., Vol. I., N.S., opposite p. 241). Mrs. C. Cooper's Rock
