Foreign Birds Doves:
Sanitation and Feeding.—Sanitation and diet are the most important items in the care of foreign birds doves, as in the care of all pets. Droppings should be removed frequently from the cage or cote. This is easy enough for small foreign birds doves kept in individual cages. Many of these cages have a removable tray on the bottom which may be taken out and washed. Where there is no such tray, a newspaper sprinkled with sand may be used and removed daily. In the case of pigeons and doves, foreign birds doves kept in populous cotes, sanitation is more of a problem, but its neglect may result in widespread disease.Both doves and pigeons will place nest on shelf. Provide foreign birds doves with coarse, clean straw or hay cut into 4-6-inch pieces; foreign birds doves arrange materials to suit themselves; both foreign birds doves share in nest-making. First egg laid 8-12 days after mating; incubation 18 days; incubation be¬gins when full clutch is laid. Hen usually broods from late afternoon until morning; cock broods rest of time; interesting ceremony of formal bowings and affectionate billings and cooings accompanies exchange of places.

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 ate 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 Language:
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.Little by little, however, the traditional ap¬proach of conjugating verbs, declining nouns, and translating from English to the foreign birds language language and from the foreign birds language language to En¬glish was restored to the college and high school curriculums. The argument against the "Army" method was that there was insufficient time for the intense programs used during the war. Impact of Federal Aid. In 1958 the U. S. Con¬gress passed the National Defense Education Act. One of its provisions was to improve the teaching of modern foreign birds language languages. Never before had such a boost been given to the study of modern foreign birds language languages. Monies were available for retraining teachers, for research, and for ma¬terials and equipment.
