A cross-mated Yellow Sparrc)w has mated with a Desert Trump- peter Bullfinch and a nest is being built. ■ Have seen the Malabar Starlings go twice into a barrel, in which nesting material ends can be seen, with their beaks full of gentles, so apparently they must be feedmg young. We can only hope that the above episodes may becarried to complete success. Dr. Lo\ Noifs: From n scries of notes Bird Snaps in Mr. \\y\A\i\ Ijijn-: Sliiiws (inc Sliilifi- Slicd andKuoil I : IllC opIinsitL cikI. Editorial. 15§ May 15th to June 6th I glean the following: Thf, Young WiriTE-EVES (Z. vireus). mentioned inour last issue, were fully reared, and became quite independ-ent of their parents, only to succumb to the terrible wind andrain storms of June 4th. Another young brood of three arein the nest and thriving. A pair of Chaffinc-hes nested and duly hatched out, butthe young were not fully reared; however another pair, inanother aviary, have young which are doing well. One or more pairs of fJlue Tits are engaged inincubation. Passing mention of a disheartening tragedy must bemade. Success had been all but achieved in the rearing of ayoung Malabar Parrakcet, when the hen Malabar was killedby a Mealy Rosalia Parrakcet. Not only is there the acute dis-appointment of the all but reared youngster, but thereis the serious loss of an apparently unrcplaceable bird. Wesymp
