Book Description
Excerpt from Bird Notes, Vol. 4 I was staying in the West of Ireland when these birds first won my heart. The two I refer to were taken from the nest very young, and so petted and companionable had they become, that, stranger to them though I was, they used to swoop into my bedroom window and alight on my pillow with much cawing, and scolding, too, if I dared ever so gently to remove them. I am rather afraid to let the two I am happy enough to possess fly loose, like my friends in Mayo; and the charm of their perfect tameness and their love for human companionship cannot be seen to full advantage; but there are so many young puppies, dogs and cats about that my heart fails me to open the aviary doors, and let them range at their own sweet will.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bird Notes, Vol. 5 My Senegal has a very individual character of his own, and shows great determination and persistence in trying to get his own way. He is extremely affec tionate, but has a very hasty temper, and if spoken to harshly, gets at once into a rage, which is, however, over in a minute. He understands all I say to him, and makes me understand everything he wants either to do or to have. And that is generally the same thingevery day at the same hour. For example, he is accustomed to have sopped toast every morning at breakfast, and if I do not give it to him at once, he calls me by name until he gets it. He will learn to say anything he hears a few times, and imitates the cries of all other creatures, including those of street urchins. We have had several cats since I had the bird, and he never shows any fear of them, and more than once he has played about on the floor with a cat nearly full-grown. On one occasion the cat upset the table on which his cage stood, apparently without upsetting in any way the mental equilibrium of the parrot, who was found quite calm and told us he was all right as well as he could. He knows those who are not afraid of him, and they can do what they like with him, but I never allow him to go close to those who are afraid of him, as he is likely to bite them, Of course he has bitten me many times, on occasions when I crossed him, but he has never offered to bite a man or anyone who is a stranger to him. He loves to be out of his cage, and in the evening after daylight is gone, will sit for hours on a little stand, or on my shoulder. In the day he wants to be biting my hair or dress, so I cannot have him on me very much. He never seems to feel the cold weather, and summer and winter his cage stands by an open Window. I was rather surprised to be told by a keeper at the Zoo. That three fine specimens of the Senegal Parrot had died, not long after they had been placed there. However, that was some years ago, and -i hope that under the improved con ditions those they now have will flourish. I think that if I had never owned the Ideal Parrot ofwhom I wrote some years ago, I should consider it impossible to have a more interesting and lovable pet than my Senegal. C. L. Collier.

Excerpt from Bird Notes, Vol. 5: January, 1922; The Journal of the Foreign Bird Club for the Study of All Species of Birds in Freedom and Captivity; Series III Satisfaction that we have held our own, and the reverse that we have done no more. When the roll is revised we think our numbers will be about the same as last year. Possibly a few less. We can all assist in the effort to materially increase our membership, and the present is the best period of the vear for such an united effort. Aviculture has not vet fully recovered from the paralysing effects of the war - many aviaries are even yet not re-opened. Perhaps never will be. And many others have but few occupants. And it is apparent that the aftermath of war has been as disas trous in its results to aviculture and kindred pursuits as the war period itself, and probably to this cause are to be attributed the difficulties with which we have been contending during the past year and years.

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.

Excerpt from Bird-Notes, Vol. 8: New Series The next step is to board in the shelters with match - boarding at the front and sides, after fixing in pieces of quartering to form the door and Window openings, and as crosspieces to nail the matching to. Note: if half-glass doors be used for these shelters, no front windows will be required. As the door lights and the side windows will supply ample light.
