PERT PARAKEETS GIVE BEACH
HOBBYIST ENDLESS DIVERSION

Nags Head.-Some people can't
resist a dogs worshiping eyes;
others succumb to a cats supreme
independence, but CASTOR Mann of
Nags Head has become a para
keet fancier this winter.
One of his friends in Portsmouth,
Va, who raises parakeets, was so
enthusiastic in his accounts of their
antics that Mr.. Mann became in
terested enough to buy some. With
=, those and others that have been
fgiven to him, he now has 16 birds.
Pretty soon there will be more,
for one little hen is sitting on five
eggs and just might lay a couple
more, for six or seven is the usual
number for a pair to raise.
AS a matter of fact, it may be
up to Papa Parakeet to raise the
family, as the hen birds often turn
out to be worse than indifferent
mothers, so petulant with the ba-
bies that they have to be separat-
, ed. In that case, the male bird is
left in the cage to feed and rear
the young ones.
Even now, the male in this pair
is busy bird. While his pretty lit
tie spouse sits on the nest, inside
dark little room attached to the
cage, he feeds her, bringing her
some of each of the five kinds of
food provided. While he flutters
back and forth, back and forth, his
mate sticks her head out into the
mating cage and exhibits COM
plete lack of interest in the pro-
ceedings.
Most of the birds, all under q
year old, are in large communa,
cage, where they swing on para
phernalia provided for them anC
chatter among themselves. AS
they pair off, they are taken out
of the big cage and put in the
smaller mating cages. Mr.. Mann
now has four couples which have

set up housekeeping.

set up housekeeping.
In one of these cages, trouble is
brewing, for the male bird coaxes,
kisses, prods and pleads with the
hen to go on into the nest and
lay some eggs. She shrugs him
off but Mr.. Mann is confident she'll
be laying in a couple of weeks.
After the eggs are laid, they hatch
in II days.
If Mr.. Mann wants to teach one
of the birds soon to be Matched to
talk, he will have to separate it
from the others at an. early age. He
will fondle it, talk to it and gen.
orally convince it that it is a hu-
man instead of bird.
That doesn't mean the rest of
the birds don't chatter. They sound
for all the world like the ladies'
bridge club between deals. But this
is bird talk, not English.
The parakeets, which some peo-
pie call lovebirds, like people and
adore to be noticed. They thrive
on human attention and bird COM
panionship.
The gay little birds come in var
ious colors. Many are green with
black markings; some are yellow,
others are blue. Once in a while,
one will be an albino, completely
white except for pink eyes.
The finest birds Mr.. Mann has
are two opalinas, almost identical
in their markings. They are a
bright, light green, with yellow
heads and black stripes on their
wings. AS an indication of how
far from cheap the parakeet hob
by is, such birds as those two
generally sell for $35 apiece.
Mr.. Mann, who is handy with
hammer and saw, made the cages
the birds occupy. They are of wood
with heavy wire at top and sides.
Nests are built in little wooden
lean-tos which can be opened from
the outside.
Although the Mann family gives
the birds lots of time because they
are so fascinating, they really
aren't much trouble. Provided with
food and water daily, they thrive
without much more effort on the
part of the owner. Newspapers in
the bottom of cage simplify the
cleaning job.
If the birds can't have admiring
people around all the time to visit
with them, they'll settle for mu-
sic,-radio, record player or even
a juke box. The only thing they
are fussy about is temperature, Sc
Mr.. Mann keeps a fire going and
their room in his new home closed
against drafts.
So far, he has had the best of
luck with his parakeets, except
for one bird. When it became i'll
and did not respond to treatment
he put it to sleep rather than take
a chance on causing all the others
to become ill.
