CANARY AND CAGE BIRD NOTES.
During the winter months many fanciers fill time with providing new breeding cages or otherwise extending those already in use. A breeder of success says: “I am not a believer in using small breeding cages, for I hold the opinion that the larger the cage the better will be the results. A breeding cage should not measiue less than 20 inches long, 10 inches from back to front, and 16 inches high, preferably though, lie says, it should be twice the size. ' Have you a flight cage.- 1 After all these do not take up much rejoin. Infinitely more pleasure and pride in one’s birds will come if birds are not kept coiitinuallv within the limits or a small cage. The construction of one this winter will .give pleasure and be greatly appreciated. A flight cage can be of any size, just according to the space available. Three feet long may be better than none at all, but six feet at least is required to make a High worth the name. There are fortunately more and more of these to be seen, but there is room for more. Can you think out any arrangement in your breeding quarters which will rrive the birds greater seclusion nhen sitting? Try, you will get better results.
