Excerpt from Practical Bird-Keeping: Being Reprints of Articles, Which Have Appeared in "the Avicultural Magazine, January, 1911 December, 1912

A bird, if it is below the mark, may live and may even nest, but it will not breed. The thoughtful aviculturist, then, constantly refers in his mind to the borne life of any given species, so far as he knows it, and asks himself whether he has as fully as is possible under the circumstances, reproduced those conditions. We cannot all go ofic to far countries to study wild birds there, but there are many books. And we have always the analogy of our own wild birds to help us.

Light or darkness, quiet or noise, space and shelter, are all important factors, but none of them have the extreme importance of Method, Cleanliness and Feeding.
