of the spokes at the top and tied in a loop by which the Fig. 23 nest may be suspended from a convenient branch. A nest like this is often hung in an aviary or cage and when it is to be used in this way a hook made as follows is inserted at the back of the nest. A piece of wire, about as thick as No. i rattan and six inches long, is bent into a shape like Fig. 23, and pushed in between the weaving at the back of the nest (from the outside) at about an inch and a half from the centre. It passes up behind four or five rows of weaving, the ends coming out just below the row of pairing in No. 2 rattan, where they are bent down to form a hook or pair of hooks. |
