Visits to Members' Aviaries. 
son's birds that they were all veterans, and nearly each had a his- 
tory — some most interesting accounts were given me, which space 
will not permit me to repeat here. I will merely give a list oE the 
caged birds, all more or less talented, and several specimens, 
mostly of each species : Salmon-crested, Greater and Lesser Lemon- 
crested and Rose-breasted Cockatoos ; Grey, Senegal, and Orange- 
winged Amazon Parrots ; and a Splendid Rosella Parrakeet. All 
these l)eing most interesting pets and entertaining birds. 
No. 1 aviary contained: Le Vaillant's Amazons, Cocka- 
teels, Alexandrine Parrakeet. Jendaya Conure (bred by Mrs- 
Hartlej 18 years ago), a Common Mynah (10 years old), and 
a hybrid Yellow-crowned x Brown -throated Conure (bred by 
Mrs. Hartley 7 years ago); also Red-crested Cardinals, anxl 
Chinese Painted Quails. These were all living together in 
amity, and in spite of the age of some of thorn were really 
grand looking specimens. 
No. 2 Aviary: Here were kept a crowd of Budger- 
igars, many of them with young, Cockateels, also with young; 
Red -headed Buntings, and a Yellow Hammer. Ahout 30 birds 
bred in this aviary this season. 
No. 3 Aviaky: This contained Golden Pheasants, 
Ring-necked Parrakeets, Cockateels, and a pair of Quaker 
Parrakeets with two joung almost fully grown. 
Another aviary at the back of the house contained: 
A Military Macaw, Golden Pheasants, and Barbary Doves. 
A collection of birds, interesting because of their his- 
tory, and I hope Miss Johnson will tell us about some of 
them from time to time in Bird Notes. 
Lady Webster's Aviaries and Birds : Mrs. Hartley 
kindly motored me to Battle, but unfortunately Lady Webster 
was away, however, the butler took us round the aviaries and 
showed us the birds. In the house were various cages con- 
taining: Zebra Finches, various Waxbills, Firefinches, Manni- 
kins, Cordon Bleus and Gouldian Finches, all in excellent 
condition. 
A large hexagon cage contained a very tame and talented 
Greater Lemon -crested Cockatoo. I have never seen a finer 
or more contented specimen; so it ought to be, for its cage 
was most sensibly furnished with a good large branch, with 
the :biark on, fully 4 inches in diamo;ter with a perch alx)ut
