wire netting behind the glass which forms the back of the sleeping place. (P.1042), trying to get out. Julio had to take him out. When I went out I found T's forehead and chin bloody and two new ones and the re- maininig, cut-off old ones.(Incorrect--see Nov.4th. notes). Archie was partially bald and, after search, I found the miss- ing feathers adhering to the roof wire in a clump and marks of the birds' feet on the glass. The top of his head cut. Meat outside and in the cat-trap had not been touched, so it does not seem to have been a cat episode. I again suspect intern- al dissention, despite the fact that the birds were perfectly calm when I saw them and remained so all day. (I was working on the cage all day, until it became too dark to see properly). Not once was there any friction between them during this period. Just before dark I arrived at a point--or rather I reached the point at about their bed-time--where it was necessary to remove some of the netting from the top of cage B; consequently they were forced to remain out in cage C until dark. When I opened the door Archie entered at once and went immediately into the hanging nest and settled himself for good with no jumping in and out. Terry remained outside on top of Door 2 which was swung out into cage C. I went to him, touched his feet and he jumped to my shoulder. I then walked into cage B, backed up to his bed (No. 3) and he jumped into it, backed up against the wall with tail flattened against it and there was no more monkey business from him either. All of this is most puzzling. Perhaps it means separating them at night. We shall see what effect the extension has, with its grow- ing branches and greater privacy--i.e.: if they will use it. 7:30 P.M. It is clear and calm. The humming-bird is back on his roost again. Humming-bird. A eats millipede. Archie, today, ate a "thousand legger" ( millipede). I have seen him refuse them. I do not recall having seen him eat one [illegible]? Bright yellow feared? I overlooked recording yesterday that when Julio approached the cage wearing a bright yellow sou'wester the birds became rest- less, looking for places to hide. I had him remove the hat, go away, then return without it. They accepted his presence at once. As a guess: It is the yellow-orange-red end of the spectrum that frightens them. November 3rd. Early song by B. Early song by B and a little during the day. Display of con- fidence by A. This morning when I was putting up roosts in the addition to the cage. Archie insisted on roosting on me while I was hammering and locating the perches. He even sat on my upper arm during the actual driving of nails. When "shooed" away, he moved to the top of my head. At times, when levelling a perch, he would sit on it and interfere with my work. He would sit on a perch while one end was being nailed. In the small space where I was working the noise of the hammer was reinforced by resonance and anything but pleasant, yet he showed not the slightest sign of being disturbed by it. He really was a nuisance, crawling all over head, shoulders and arms , raking his tail across my nose and the back of my neck and getting his feathers in my ears, yet I was delighted by his confidence that no harm would come to him. Hummer on roost. At 6:30 P.M.:clear, mild and calm. The hummer was on his roost.
