Text Appearing Before Image:
d other amateurs have bred them freely. Food, canary-seed and millet. PASSERINE PARRAKEET (Psittaculapasserina), South America.Psittactis passcrimis (Russ), Psitlaculus passerimis, Agapornis cyanoptenis, Coniirus passerinus, Psittacula Brasiliensis, Uropygiocyaneo, Psittacula passerina gregaria et vwdcsta, English dealers name—Brazilian Love-bird. German name— Sperlings-papagei, or Blaufliigeliger Zwerg-papagei. The Passerine Parrakeet is if anything a trifle smaller than his red-faced and grey-headed relatives from Africa and Madagascar. His plumage is bright green, but underneaththe wings, and at the root of the tail, brilliant blue. When newly arrived the BrazilianLove-bird is rather delicate, but with a little care the species becomes quite hardy and ahighly-esteemed and pretty cage-bird. Dr. Russ has bred these Parrakeets repeatedly;elsewhere such success has been very rare. Food, like that of the other dwarf Parrakeet.s,millet and canary seed. CassellsCanaries and Cage Birds

lAnconv flroolts Da/iSon Lilli- B LU E STR I PED LO RY. BLUE IVIO UINTAI N LORY. Blue Mountain Lory. 443 BLUE-CROWNED HANGING PARRAKEET (Loriculus galgtdus), Malacca.Psitlacus galgttlus (Russ), Psittacus flavigulus, Psittacus pumilius, Psittcicula gal«ulus, Psittacula galgida, Psittaculacyaneo-fiUata, Loruuus pumilis, Coryllis galgiilus. English dealers name—Malacca Hanging Parrakeet. Germanname— Blauscheiteliges Papageichen, or Blausclieiteliger Fledermans-papagei. The most beautiful of these small Parrakeets is the gorgeous Blue-crowned HangingParrakeet (Loriailus galgiilus), from Malacca, a miniature Parrot not larger than a Goldfinch,of bright green colour, a bright blue spot on the top of his head, and a large patch of brilliantvermilion on his throat and tail. This little bird loves to hang head downwards in his cage.If we could but keep this charming little bird ! I have tried it, and Loriculus galgiilus wouldnot live: the English climate does not appear to agree with this
