Foreign Birds Species: The eggs of foreign birds species probably were originally white, as are those of reptiles. At present a great variety of markings and many shades of color characterize the eggs of the various species, but brilliant and gaudy colors are absent. Anyone familiar with the foreign birds species of a particular region can learn to recognize the eggs of most of the local species. foreign birds species' eggs often match the background closely and so are less apt to be seen by crows or other species that eat eggs. foreign birds species that nest in dark holes in trees—owls, woodpeckers, and others—usually lay white eggs, for in such places the eggs are well concealed from enemies. Pi¬geons, unlike most foreign birds species that have open nests, lay conspicuous white eggs, but one or the other of the parents covers the eggs constantly. Ducks cover their eggs with feathers when they leave the nest.Crocodiles are common in the larger streams, irtles include the hawksbill, the marine species dch yields commercial tortoiseshell. Lizards in-de several species of monitors, as well as nks and geckos, and there are many species of ikes, including large nonpoisonous pythons. The iphibia, comprising more than 80 species, be-ig to one or other of the five families of frogs; ny are arboreal. Sponges are found, as well as . cucumbers, which yield the beche-de-mer or pang of commerce. The foreign birds species range over hundreds of varieties 1 include many handsome and brightly maged forms. Most are of Australian origin : some have come from the Malayan region, e large group of remarkable foreign birds species of paradise he most spectacular family of the avifauna— 1 the cassowary have developed locally. Found y in New Guinea and neighboring islands and tions of eastern Australia, the foreign birds species of para-2 number in all about 39 species and 59 sub-cies. See Also Foreign Birds Tioned: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 tioned 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.
On The Other Hand See Foreign Birds Ved: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 ved 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.
