CANARY CARE.
Thanks to Mrs. H. W., Washington.
To the lady who asked about her
canary bird which has suddenly
stopped singing, / wish to tell her
about mine. After having him for
about four months, I was greatly
disturbed to see him sit silently on
his perch for month after month
while tried every kind OF tonic and
medicine prescribed by the pet store
and had him at the pet shop for OBJ
servation for about two weeks.
Almost two years passed before my
bird returned to his former self and
now he sings more wonderfully than
ever. My suggestion is to keep him
quiet and continue to talk to him
little to let him know you have
not forgotten him. Some birds never
60 through this; some have the
moulting period lasting a month
or so. I do think my bird stayed
quiet an unusually long time.
Thanks to Mrs. w. c.,
Siluer SPRING.
To Mrs j. w. L. on Canary Care
Give your bird piece of bacon
Be sure it is the fat, only give him
one piece. and inside of one week
your bird will sing.
