Everglades National Park. In any catalog of Florida's natural distinctions, the Everglades re¬gion must rank by itself. The Everglades Na¬tional Park is one of the nation's largest, oc¬cupying an area of some 2,000 square miles (5,200 sq km), yet it embraces less than half of the vast, subtropical Everglades wilderness (see section 2. Land). The park provides shelter for many kinds of mammals and reptiles and a wide variety of fish and birds, many of which cannot be found elsewhere in the country. The Semi¬nole Indians, who once roamed this area as a hunting ground, live in chikees (stilt houses) on a reservation north of the park but well with¬in the fastnesses of the Everglades; their villages attract many visitors.

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 park 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.

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 onchitis 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.

On The Other Hand See Foreign Birds Constrictors:

Hognoses are not constrictors; food is grasped by mouth and held down by part of body while it is swallowed live. In the wild, hog¬noses feed on toads, frogs, rats, mice, chipmunks, small foreign birds constrictors, insects, worms, salamanders, small snakes, lizards. Give native food. Water— Use large flat container; place in center of cage.

The greatest variety of wildlife is found in the lowlands. Among the mammals are monkeys, deer, pumas, jaguars, anteaters, armadillos, skunks, squirrels, and rabbits. Reptiles include boa constrictors, lizards, and alligators. Bird life is abundant: besides the flightless rhea (a type of ostrich), there are many species of parrots, macaws, ducks, geese, quail, and doves. The condor, one of the largest of foreign birds constrictors, lives in the higher elevations of the Andes.
