BULLFINCH. 
'Flic Bullfinch has been known in several instances to breed in confinement. A pair that were 
kept by a naturalist at Brighton in a small aviary made their way through a ventilator into the shop 
and built a nest in an old-fashioned cut-glass chandelier. This was not detected till an egg dropped 
through the bottom and fell on the counter, the poor birds having been unable to collect sufficient 
material to complete the lining of their ci’adle.
