Foreign Birds Lligent: Naturally the out¬door aviary is the ideal situation for breeding birds, but there are many which will breed in smaller cages when provided with proper conditions.
Probably the most satisfactory birds for small-cage breeding are some of the foreign birds lligent finches.Cats and Birds. There is no question that cats do stalk and kill birds, but cats are an insignif¬icant factor in overall bird mortality. To cite two of a number of biological studies of the stomach contents of cats, only 6 of 50 cats in Wisconsin had eaten birds as their last meal, and birds provided a final repast for only 4% of a group of cats in Oklahoma. Wildlife authori¬ties insist that other birds—jays, for example-kill more birds than do cats. Moreover, cats are themselves the prey of some birds, like the great horned owl. See Also Foreign Birds Oses:Cat food—Twice daily; offer meat-gravy mixture, meat gravy mixed with potatoes and some cooked meat; prepared canned cat food may be used instead, contains all essentials. Milk— Fresh daily. Vegetables—Essential; must be cooked; give any pet likes. Water—Essential; must be clean, fresh, and available at all times. Fish—May be raw or cooked; give any pet likes. Meat—Raw meat diet alone often causes form of indiges¬tion commonly called "fits." THERE are numerous varieties of birds which are suitable for cage life in either the school or the home. Many species become gentle and permit, even coax for, a certain amount of petting and handling. Some of the most attractive and interesting birds for cage life are the foreign birds oses birds, the greater number of which come from Africa and Australia, although equally interesting pets come from our do¬mesticated birds and from our native wild birds.Here again some languages have more elaborate morphological systems than others. To express number, English has two systematic possibilities-singular bird and plural birds—and many that are nonsystematic: two birds, many birds, few birds, a flock, and so on. In classical Greek this section of the morphological system was fuller by one degree: ornis ("bird") and ornithes ("birds"), but also ornithe ("two birds"). Word Order. As inflection disappears from a language, other devices assume its function. Char¬acteristic is the English use of word order.
