AN UNUSUAL ST. HELENA WAXBILL


Madam,— I have a hen St. Helena Waxbill which arrived in a consignment.

It has a yellow bill, yellow eye markings instead of red, is much lighter in

colour on the breast and body, and has only faint undulations on the breast.

It is the only one of the kind I have seen. I should be glad to know

if it is a variety ?


And. Wilson.
