COLOURED DRAWING OF THE SPLENDID

GRASS-PARRAKEET


The original coloured drawing of the Splendid Grass-Parrakeet

from which the coloured plate, which appeared in our last number,

was reproduced, was presented to the King, who owns a pair of these

birds, and the following is an extract from a letter received by the

Editor from Colonel Sir Clive Wigram, K.C.V., etc., the King’s Private

Secretary : “ The King is delighted with the drawing of the Splendid

Parrakeets which you have so kindly had framed and for which His

Majesty desires me to express his sincere thanks. I am also to thank you

for arranging for copies of the Avicultural Magazine to be

forwarded.”
