Probably the most satisfactory birds for small-cage breeding are some of the foreign birds xchange finches. See Also Foreign Birds Tional:Savings, small but concentrated, are used mainly to buy lands or buildings (as an infla¬tion hedge) or are placed with banks in foreign birds tional nations. Funds for domestic development, aside from those borrowed from commercial banks, are provided by the direct investment of foreign birds tional firms, by foreign birds tional governments, or by interna¬tional lending institutions.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 Upper:Eggs. All birds lay hard-shelled eggs, which usually are placed in a nest. Gannets and alba¬trosses lay only one egg; pigeons, some eagles, and others, two; gulls usually lay three; robins, sandpipers, and many others lay four. As the number of eggs increases, it also becomes more variable. Many small birds lay from three to five eggs per setting, or clutch. If more than one brood is raised per year, as is often the case, the number of eggs in the later clutches may be one or two less. The upper limits in clutch size are found among such birds as quail and coots, which may lay 15 or more eggs. If eggs are taken from the nest during the laying period, most birds continue to lay in an attempt to com¬plete the normal clutch. From this instinct, aided by careful selection, has come the egg-laying feats of the domestic hen, which may lay an egg a day for the better part of her short adult life.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 Upper 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.
