Book Description
Excerpt from The Avicultural Magazine, Vol. 12: Being the Journal of the Avicultural Society for the Study of British and Foreign Birds in Freedom and Captivity The year which ends with this number has been one of the most difficult of the so-called "peace" years; but the Society has come through the ordeal, and rather than look back at the trials of the past we should look forward to the future with confidence and hope, seeing the signs that are visibly pointing to a real revival of aviculture. Several large consignments of birds have come into this country in the course of the year, and the importation of foreign species is the most important factor in the support of the Society, for without birds to keep aviculture alive we can neither get contributions to our Magazine nor hope to secure new members. The difficulties of the present time have caused many aviculturists to give up their hobby and resign their membership, and unless these resignations can be made good, it will be impossible to enlarge the Magazine so long as the cost of production remains as high as it is at present. It is to be hoped, therefore, that members will do their best to induce their friends to join the Society and will send the Editors accounts of the doings of their birds, so as to help to get back to the days of a Magazine of thirty-two pages and a coloured plate.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Avicultural Magazine, Vol. 3: Being the Journal of the Avicultural Society for the Study of Foreign and British Birds in Freedom and Captivity Mr. Bonhote then acted as one of the Secretaries for the Congress. It is universally admitted that much of the success of this important event was due to the excellence of the arrangements. The Congress was attended by many officers and other members of this Society. Mr. Seth-Smith acted as official delegate for the Society, and read a paper entitled "The Importance of Aviculture as an aid to the study of Ornithology." We would call attention to the work that has been accomplished by members in recording the breeding habits of species which are not known to have bred in captivity in this country before: the Rev. C. D. Farrar has successfully reared young of the White-throated Finch (Spernophila albigularis); Sir William Ingram, Bart., the Bare-throated Francolin (Pternistes leucoscepus), and Mr. D. Seth-Smith the Varied Bustard Quail (Turnix varia) and the Australian Swamp Quail (Syn cus australis). Mention may also be made of the breeding of some interesting hybrids; Dr. Butler has reared a hybrid Ouzel between Merula boulboul and M. merula; Mr. Fasey, hybrid Parrakeets between Platycercus elegans and Barnardius semitorquatus; and Mr. Seth-Smith hybrid Song-Sparrows between Zonotrichia leucophrys and Z. pileata; while a Duck, bred this year by Mr. Bonhote contains the blood of no less than five species, viz., Anas boscas, melleri, p cilorhyncha, superciliosa, and Dafila acuta, an event hitherto unknown in the annals of hybridism. We would urge our members to do their best to persuade all their friends who may be interested in birds to join the Avicultural Society. Finally our thanks are due to the members of the Executive Committee, who have worked hard to promote the welfare of the Society.
