Bullfinches.
Old
birds
should
be
fed
with
German
Paste,
(See
par.
2164),
and
occasionally
rapeseed.
The
Germans
sometimes
give
them
a
little
poppy-seed,
and
a
grain
or
two
of
rice,
steeped
in
Canary
wine,
when
teaching
them
to
pipe,
as
a
reward
for
the
progress
they
make.
Bird
organs,
or
flageolets,
are
used
to
teach
them.
They
breed
three
or
four
times
a
year.
The
young
require
to
be
kept
very
warm,
and
to
be
fed
every
two
hours
with
rape
seed,
soaked
for
several
hours
in
cold
water,
afterwards
scalded
and
strained,
bruised,
mixed
with
bread,
and
moistened
with
milk.
Not
more
than
one,
two,
or
three
mouthfuls
should
be
given
at
a
time.
2161.
Linnets.
Cock
birds
are
browner
on
the
back
than
the
hens,
and
have
some
of
the
large
feathers
of
the
wings
white
up
to
the
quills.
Canary
and
hemp
seed,
with
occasionally
a
little
groundsel,
water-cress,
chickweed,
&c.,
constitute
their
food.
2162.
Skylarks.
The
cock
is
recognised
by
the
largeness
of
his
eye,
the
length
of
his
claws,
the
mode
of
erecting
his
crest,
and
by
marks
of
white
in
the
tail.
It
is
also
a
larger
bird
than
the
hen.
The
cage
should
be
of
the
following
proportions:--Length,
one
foot
five
inches;
width,
nine
inches;
height,
one
foot
three
inches.
There
should
be
a
circular
projection
in
front
to
admit
of
a
fresh
turf
being
placed
every
two
or
three
days,
and
the
bottom
of
the
cage
should
be
plentifully
and
constantly
sprinkled
with
river
sand.
All
vessels
containing
food
should
be
placed
outside,
and
the
top
of
the
cage
should
be
arched
and
padded,
so
that
the
bird
may
not
injure
itself
by
jumping
about.
