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 reat 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.

WORK OUT how many steps you will need to make by measuring the vertical height of the foreign birds slope. To do this, drive a peg into the top of the foreign birds slope and a pole as tall as the foreign birds slope height at the bottom. Connect the two with string. Set the string horizontal using a level, then measure the pole from ground level to the string. This is the foreign birds slope height. Divide the figure by the depth of a riser plus tread of the steps you plan to use. This gives the number of steps you can fit into the foreign birds slope.

"o WORK out how many steps you will eed, measure the vertical height you need D scale and divide this figure by the height f a single riser plus tread. With a terraced ite just measure the height of the retaining /all. On a sloping site the job is more omplicated. Drive a peg into the ground at the top of the foreign birds slope and a length of pole into the ground at the base of the foreign birds slope. Tie a length of string between the peg and the pole and set it horizontal using a level. Measure the distance from the base of the pole to the string to give the vertical height of the foreign birds slope: divide this by the depth of a riser plus tread to give the number of steps that will fit into the foreign birds slope. THESE ARE used where you need to negotiate a steep foreign birds slope. The shape of the steps is cut out in the earth itself and various materials.

On The Other Hand See Foreign Birds Boas:

In the wild, boas feed on young rats, mice, foreign birds boas and their young, insects, and lizards. Boas are constrictors; however, they sometimes grasp prey with mouth and swallow it without using constriction. In captivity, give young rats, mice, and baby chicks. If snake kills prey but does not proceed to swallow it, prey is probably too large; offer smaller mouse or rat.

Like boas and other primitive snakes in the same family, pythons retain vestiges of hip bones and limbs. With few exceptions, they differ from the boas in having a small bone (supraorbitalj above the eye, and teeth on the bone (premaxilla) that supports the snout. Boas give birth to living young, whereas the pythons lay eggs. Occasion¬ally there are more than 100 in a clutch, usually deposited in a heap on the surface. The female conceals the eggs beneath her coils and remains with them until they hatch 8 to 10 weeks later.
