Book Description
Excerpt from Bird Notes, Vol. 2 This handsome South African Whydah, Chera procue, is described by Dr. Butler as follows: - "When in colour the male bird is gloss black, the underparts having the appearance of watered silk: a large patch of brilliant scarlet covers the lesser wing-coverts, the medium coverts being yellowish white, the greater coverts and flights edged with white or pale brown, but the primaries only near the end of the outer web: the legs and beak are dull red, iris brown. Length, including the tail, usually averaging 191/2 inches, though specimens sometimes occur in which the tail alone attains a length of 18 inches; probably only in very old birds." This description, together with the excellent drawing by Miss Brooksbank, here reproduced, should enable the reader to form a good idea of the bird. The female, and the male in winter plumage, present the sparrow-like appearance of Whydahs out of colour. In its native land this species is known by various names, such as Kaffir King, Kaffir Chief, Kaffir Fink, Sackabuller, and Long-tailed Widow-bird.

Bird Notes, Vol. 4 (Classic Reprint)

Pages : 436
Book Description
Excerpt from Bird Notes, Vol. 4 The entire plumage of this bird is a shining black with a dull blue gloss over it, the legs and beak a lovely coral red; total length about 15 inches, wing 103/4 inches, tail 51/2 inches. The sexes are alike in colouring, the female being slightly the smaller of the two. The young birds attain their full plumage at the end of the second year: before this their beaks are of a dull yellow colour. It builds in most inaccessible places, seeking out the steepest parts of the cliffs, and the nest is often at the end of a cleft with several turnings, and is composed of sticks, roots, and dry grass, lined with wool and grass. The eggs are four or five in number, of a yellowish white spotted with ash grey, purple, or light brown. Size about 11/4 ins. by 1 ins. The Chough feeds on insects and grain of various sorts, berries, and some kind of small shell-fish which it picks up on the shore. That it is getting scarce is sadly true: this fact has been observed in the West of Ireland, the South of England, and Scotland. There are many reasons given for its diminishing numbers: "Some say it is the Jackdaws, And others they say Nay, Its just the man who's got a gun And likes to blaze away." I am glad to see these birds are included in the Wild Birds Protection Act 1880. This bird appears in the Schedule which applies to every County in England, Scotland, and Ireland.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bird Notes, Vol. 5 Of all the different Parrots of various families and species which I have possessed, from the initial Ring-necked Parrakeet in 1876 to the numerous, and in many cases often changing examples in later years, the Senegal so far appeals the most strongly to such measure of affection as I am capable of shewing. Indeed I am bound to say that I feel a good deal of gratitude to Miss Collier's charming little pet, not only for his kind reception of me when I saw him at the Crystal Palace Show of 1903, but also for that meeting having been the direct cause of my now having my own little Jobo as a friend. For seeing how captivated I was by the delightful manners of the little Dunrdum (as this bird is called by Europeans on the Coast), my friend Dr. Hopkinson, as he afterwards told me, determined to bring me one on his next return on leave from Gambia. And so he did; land ing here on the 20th of last April, he immediately wrote to me to my surprised delight that one would reach me in a day or two. On the 25th it arrived, - a vicious little rascal who fought and bit, as only a Parrot can, whenever my hand approached it.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bird-Notes, Vol. 8: New Series If more members will contribute articles on their birds, whether breeding results or merely as collections of birds, we shall be able to look forward to 1918 to be even a better year than any that have gone before. During the past year this terrible war has claimed some of our most liberal supporters. Both financial and literary. They will never be forgotten, and we shall always remember they were proud of the Club Journal. We ask you one and all to do your best to make good this loss - we owe it to those who have given their lives in this world-struggle, and who. Amid the heat of conflict, found time to contribute to the Journal. To those, one and all, who have suffered bereavement we extend our deepest sympathy. Let us hope that before 1918 closes. Peace will again reign, and those scattered in the various war areas will have returned home again, and the next report be written under much happier auspicies than the above.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bird Notes, 1923, Vol. 6: The Journal of the Foreign Bird Club, for the Study of All Species of Birds in Freedom and Captivity In bird notes for 1913 I gave a few notes on the breeding Of Turtle Dove hybrids, etc.. A brief summary Of same being that in the spring of 1913 a first cross hybrid male dove (the produce of a d Turtle and a 9 Barbary Dove) mated with a Common Barbary hen and bred and reared three young. Two being fawn-coloured like an ordinary Barbary Dove. And one grey (a male) like the ground colour of the parent hybrid father, all with a Slight distinguishing mark in the beak. This mark, which enabled me to distinguish my hybrid fawns from pure Barbary Doves, was the red colour Of the eshy base or gape of beak. They also showed a slight fullness later. In the width Of the neck rings, especially at the Sides. But the rings met at the back of neck just as in the Common Barbary. In 1914 I mated this young grey male to a common Barbary hen, my net result being two youngsters, one grey and one fawn; these were indistinguishable from the type of the true Barbary, in every way.
