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, cliickweed, a little piece of egg, a little fruit, a nut and lots of good things and let him cat 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 Take care that neither sun nor other light reflected shall dazzle him.
