p. 82. 350. Red and Yellow Macaw (A. aramuna). Add after

another success in Germany, where a pair laid in a cupboard

in a room and hatched out a young bird, which left the

nest at 94 days old. In D.G.W., 1932, p. 110, M. Muller

describes success in a large flying aviary at Essen and gives

photographs of the young bird at various ages between

7 and 12 weeks old. It was hatched on 5th October and

was over 4 months old at the time the account was written.

A summary of this account appeared in the September

number of the Magazine, which also contained two other

Macaw-breeding records : (1) Blue and Yellow Macaws

successfully bred in Australia by Padbury in 1931 and 1932 ;

the breeder has now two pairs of home-bred birds ( A.M .,

1932, 221). (2) The rearing of a Red and Yellow X Blue


and Yellow Macaw hybrid in Hew Zealand, in 1931

(Anderson, A.M., 1932, 220).
