Excerpt from British Birds for Cages, Aviaries, and Exhibition, Vol. 1 I have been a most interested party in this direction all my life, and at the present time I am quite unable to feel comfortable, or to feel that my life is complete without having them around me. No doubt the professional British Bird keeper will find little advantage, but to the amateur and beginner this work should be of great service. At the moment, I am sorry to say that very few of the hundreds of fanciers that keep British Birds do not study them in their wild state, which I consider is most necessary for their general well-being in caged life, and to this end I have included in this work much informa tion relating to this, not only necessary knowledge, but as a most fascinating study both in Winter and Summer.
