Some breeding cages are fitted with a turn-rail in front, others with a draw-board. The turn-rail works on a pin at one end of the cage and pulls out when the cage bottom is cleaned, but as it necessitates the hand being put in the cage to sweep and scrape out the refuse, I do not recom- mend it. The birds are apt to be frightened, and when this happens eggs or young are often pulled out of the nest on.
