BIRDS IN SMALL CAGES.
TO THE XDITOS OF THE PRESS. Sib, —In re your mention of cruelty to small birds imprisoned in diminutive cages. Not only are they too confined, but are in a constant draught unless come protection is afforded them on top and side of cage ; birds naturally - remain a very short time in sunshine, but retire to the shade and protection of trees, where their eyes having no lashes, are saved from the excruciating pain of constant unveiled sun. Cages with brass or gilt wires cause birds to become blind, when they starve slowly and miserably, till dedth puts an end to their unhappy little lives. —Yours, &c. Avis. Queen's Birthday, 189 L
