Feb. 21, 1935-
Caged conditions with artificial light caused
several partial molts per year. Its death
was probably the result of an attack by
a chat that accidentally got into the
same cage. The bull's mate has
taken on a melanistic phase. This
bird died Sunday 17th and was
received at the museum Thursday.
The gonads were almost entirely decompose
but both Dr Muller and I judged it
was a male. There seemed to be two
enlarged testes soft but outlined visibly.
The weight was taken Thursday.
