Tunkhannock When we asked Mrs. George®— Lockwood how she happened to start raising love-binds, she said when her children grew up and got married she needed a live in- terest, and it just happened that the live interest turned out to be love-birds. The first one came from Florida some wears ago, a [baby love-bird unable to fly, which she purchased for $3 and brought home with her on the train, When she went to the diner for meals, she reralls, she dashed back immediate- ly after dessert to see if the tiny bird were still parked in the lug- gage rack, That's her bachelor bind, never yet mated. The fact that he has no: Wife is doubtless responsible for his @bility—and chance—-to talk. He's a great talker, Love-birds, Mrs. Lockwood says, do better if there is a bit of com- petition. [Pairs which have [post- poaed nest-making and all that goes with it ‘when in private quarters, get busy and lay eggs when put into a room with other love-birds. Mrs, Lockwood has one large cage with two pairs in it, both in a nest-building mood, Sometimes it’s a dry run, with no nestlings to reward a pair of ardent parents. Mrs. Lockwood was expecting three little bundles from heaven a week or so ago, but noth- ing [happened, the eggs remaining unbroken, a great disappointment. Baby love-birds are naked, the same as any other baby bird, but they soon sprout (those character- istic green or blue feathers, Papa love-bird is as solicitous of his young as Mamma, taking over their care and feeding if anything happens to this mate. In presenting a young love-bird to the Back Mountain Library Auc- tion, Mrs. [Lockwood just about cleaned out her existing supply of young birds, having only one small chartreuse number left in her hatchery. But she expects another nestful very shortly. Very few people know that Goss Manor has a love-bird hatchery, because Mrs. Lockwood does not advertise her activities, preferring to provide the delicate little birds for her friends. They are in great demand. Not all parakeets talk, but they arc all things of beauty and most affectionate with their owners. Love-birds do not build their own nests, relying upon their owners for housing, A small wooden box, taller than its width, with a hole at the top and a door in the rear, is hung on the side of the cage. Scorning luxury, the bird lays six Pe twelve eggs in the concave bot- tom, spacing her eggs two days apart, and beginning ‘to incubate them immediately, so that tthe first nestling is hatched in eighteen days, the second in twenty, the. ‘third in twenty-two, and so forth. Once hatching is started, the mother bird does not spend so much time sit- ting on her nest, as heat from the babies continues to incubate the remaining eggs. The father bird feeds his mate, who in turn feeds the children, re- gurgitating a milky substance which becomes thicker and more nourish- ing as the babies become older. A talking bind, says ithe best author- ity, should never be bred, as do- mestic duties will interfere with his art, But he doesn’t lose his instincts. Mrs. Lockwood says her best talker regurgitattes all over the place, with misplaced enthusiasm for feeding his non existent young. All - love-birds, explains Mrs. Lockwood, are offspring of the orig- inal green feathered birds. The blue tones are now the most valuable, their feathers ranging from pale sky blue through various shades of darker blue to an indigo or vio- let. When the binds start to pro- duce young which are below par in size, that is the signal to breed back to a green bind and start the mutations in color all over again. Many books have been written on the subjedt. Love-bird culture is gaining ground, with many ‘women finding they can raise them in their own homes without expensive equipment. It is moot only interest- ing, but profitable, as [the little feathered jewels bring good prices.
