Almost any bright colored bird will
make good songster. Just now the
goldtinch is quite popular. The male
variety has sweet, mild note, and
breeds well with the canary. The
female goldfinch is poor cage bird, and
is never in demand. Canarles are going
out of style, although those imported
from the Hartz mountains are still the
prince of songsters. 4 good many peo-
pie are now buying nonpareils, birl of
fine plumage from the gulf states.
They have a low, sweet note. Mocking
birds viii always be popular. The best
variety comes from near Dallas, Tex,
where they are taken out of tho nests
while young and fed by hand. The
mocker is the only bird that can whistle
n tune successfully. and it takes only
short time to teach one such a tune
as "Lauterbach. The redbird Is the
hardest bird known TO keep. as he will

for properly. He is hearty bird if he
survives the first season, but it is
necessary to change the cage frequently
from high to low point. then from
outdoors to indoors. All redbirds are
trapped, and then they sing only after
becoming thoroughly tanned. The black
bird is rarely seen AZ a cage bird. The
American blackbird is q poor pet, but
