2 Streptopelia risoria. (Barbary Turtle Dove.) have abused it continually, viz.: the large male domestic pigeon and the odd male of this species, the latter making love to it continually. To-day I purchased another female from A.C. Robison and Co., cost $1.00. No. 28. One pair seem to be nesting in a box on the front of the old chicken house, a bird sitting there quite steadily. April 21, 1908. The birds in the box on the front of the chicken house have one egg. April 30, 1908. One of the birds with the egg has been injured, apparently by a cat. The tail and the rump feathers having been pulled out and the flesh torn. I have decided to exchange no. 28 as it seems to be a male. May 1, 1908. I returned no. 28 to A. C. Robison and Co., and received my dollar in exchange. The birds with the eggs are 23 and 24. May 7, 1908. No. 22, a male, is assisting in the incubation of the egg owned by 23 and 24 since one of them was injured. To-day he was chasing the Mourning Doves about quite persistently.
