Officers for the year 1936



This practical little book 1 will be of the utmost value to anyone

proposing to take up Pheasant breeding ; had it been available when

I was in charge of foreign Pheasants I should have achieved more

successes and fewer failures.


The book is well illustrated by photographs from life.



VOGEL FERNER LAUDER


A Publication for those who keep and Breed Foreign Birds


Those of our members who read German, especially parrot fanciers,

will enjoy the account given in this paper 2 of the nesting and rearing

of the Cockatiel which is described with characteristic thoroughness

and minute detail. A young bird is shown in photograph from a few

hours after hatching and thence at intervals of five days until it had

reached the age of thirty-five days. Full measurements and weights

are recorded, even the eggs measured and weighed.


Other articles deal with Budgerigars, the nesting of the Grey-headed

Love Bird, and now to distinguish the different varieties of Black

Cockatoos by the formation of their mandibles.
