Among the birds sppii in the sanctuary, but whose 
nests have not been found are: Nig-htjars, Green Woodpecker, 
Kingfisher and Brown Owl. 
We fiiather that the birds are yearly becoming indif- 
ferent to the curiosity of visitors, and are rapidly gaining a 
sense of security. Most oT the species avail themselves of 
the artificial nest sites provided. 
Mixed SFRir=:: Memliers often appear to be in diffi- 
culties as to what they can keep together, therefore one or 
two accounts from time to time as they come to hand, as to what 
are being kept together, should prove of general interelst, 
and we propose giving such as opportunity arises. 
Our member, Mr. G. E. Haggle, of Oxford, has in one of 
his aviaries, some 18 feet x 8 feet, including shelter, the following 
species : 
3 pairs Cordon RIeus 2 pairs Gold-breasted Waxbills

The aviary is naturally planted and possesses a good 
amount of natural cover and is well sheltered. The above 
specie.^; have agreed well together, and the Zebra Finches and 
Cordon Bleus have reared young. A hybrid Grey x Green 
Singing -finch has also been reared.
