you need do is, to keep him qniet and free from
draughts Being cheerful, lively bird, there
is no need to have him covered up, but do not
let him be unduly excited. Give him a very

tened with cold water, once a week OCCASION
; ally little yolk Of hard bold egg; and now
: and then piece of sponge-cake, and ripe
. chckweed in full flower. Nature will DO the
rest and present your pet with handsome
new coat, that will keep him spruce and last
him full year. Mind and trim his claws when
they are too ong. Use sharp scissors always;
, a knife, never. In handling him, let him lie as
passive as possible; so that your hand may not
press unduly on any part of his little body
Alter the first operation, he will understand I'll
