CANARY AND CAGE BIRD NOTES.
Do not give the budgerigar too much liberty. He may perch on the shoulder, inside or outside the house, for many a day without giving the slightest indication that he is not quite satisfied with his present abode. Then one day that longing for a larger and freer life overcomes him and off he goes. Many a valuable bird has been lost in this way. A fancier ot some fame says he never places prospective exhibitors’ birds in a flight cage. He affirms that this makes them wild and intractable. Stock birds, that is, breeding birds, cannot be kept in good breeding condition without a large flight cage which will allow of plenty of exercise. _ With the coming of the rain there will soon be plentv of green stuff for the cage birds. They should have a regular supply.
