In the great central flying cage there is per- haps the most remarkable omnium-gatherum of small tropical birds—swimmers, waders, upland game birds and perch- ers—ever brought together in one cage. The bottom of the L is the Parrots' Hall, 65x30 feet. It contains the par- rots, macaws, cockatoos, and a few other species. In the angle of the main building stands a structure al- most wholly composed of metal and glass, which is known as the Glass Court. It was designed especially for North Amer- ican song-birds. The visitor should not overlook the fact that there are cages filled with birds all along both the east- ern and western sides of the Large Bird House. Nearly all the cages of both the exterior and interior of the Main and Parrots' Halls, are accessible from the back by passage-ways; a convenience that greatly facilitates the work of the keepers in caring for their various charges. The capacity of this installation as a whole may be judged from the following memorandum of cages: APPROXIMATE SIZES OF CAGES OF THE LARGE BIRD-HOUSE INDOORS.
