■Breeding of Hooded Parrakelets, 329 
On two of them there is certainly a warmer tint of the future 
brilliant verdigris green of the male's underparts, 
The parents, besides eating seeds and chickweed, etc,, 
have had biscuit sop, and, what was perhaps still more help- 
ful, fresh gentles, of which they have eaten a great many 
during the period of rearing their family. 
These most beautiful Parrakeets, have, I believe, not 
been known to rear their young in captivity until now. 
I have taken one of the young birds, which looks like 
a male, to keep as a tame pet. By the 24th of November 
it could feed perfectly by itself, and in three days from the 
time that it was separated from its parents, would answer my 
whistle and perch on my fingers.
