minute the first morning and then
double tho time each day for 90
days. The uncle followed the pres.

It is only possible at present to coll
lect data from the duration Of lives OF
birds In captivity; evidence otherwise
must be unreliable, and it is purely a
matter Of theory as to whether the un-
natural possible life is greater than
that under the unnatural conditions Of
captivity. There are records Of a
nightingale havfi.s lived rs years, a
thrush II, blackbird that was still
alive at 201s, goiifnch 20, and sky
larks Of "a and 20. Ravens, owls and
cockatoos are popularity supposed to
live to a very great age, and the fol-
lowing record appears to be authentic:
Raven, 50; gray parrot, so and 40; blue
macaw, 81; eagle owls. SO, and ona
