are nicebirds to have : — The so-called Blue-winged Lovebird or PasserineParrotlet, is a vSouth American species quite distinct from thetrue Ivovebirds. If yon can obtain healthy specimens at the))rice named, they are cheap—though the species is largely-imported at times. It is a ver\ beautiful and desirable bird,but better adapted to the aviar\- than the cage, for the blue ofthe wings is only to ))e seen during flight, and it is generallytimid and difficult to tame. Nevertheless, it was bred by thewell known aviculturist IMr. O. IC. Cresswell in a small bell-shaped cage, though his success was of course, in the main, amere accident, which is not likely to be soon repeated.Canary-seed should be its principal food, with some spray orIndian millet, and occasional hemp-seeds. Green food ismuch appreciated.
