Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 October 1901 — Your Canary. [ARTICLE]

Your Canary.

Don’t forget to give your canary the best of water and seed every day. See that he has a good fish bone. Clean his cage every day. Keep him out of the hot sun and the glare of night lights and yet let him have sunshine. Talk to him; talk to him with a kind voice. Let him out of the cage occasionally. We give crumbs of bread soaked in milk, lettuce, chlckweed, a little piece of egg, sometimes a little fruit, a nut and lots of good things and let him eat or reject as he pleases. Remember he Is a prisoner in confinement, dependent on you every day for health and life, and constantly strive to make him happy. A little 10 cent looking glass will add greatly to his happiness. Take care that neither sun nor other light reflected shall dazzle him.
