1912: Cage Birds at 10
ONE OF OUR PRETTIEST BRITISH BIRDS
HANDSOME AND DARING, AND A BIRD THAT WILL TALK. BY “NIMROD”
THE Jay is fairly common in wooded districts and would be more so, if the keepers would only leave them alone. It is quite true, that they are fond of eggs, and play havoc in some districts, both with the Pheasants’ and Partridges’ eggs, and small birds as well.
A cock bird of about three years of age in full plumage is a treat to see, and I am glad that at some shows Jays stand in the money. I am in hopes yet
