17th June 1975

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your letter of 31.05.75.

Further to my letter of 26^th February 1975 I wish to state  that the number of birds has increased and now we have several young pairs that may start breeding soon. At the time of writing these letter we have some chicks that hatched out recently in the Walk-in-Aviary.

In captivity the jungle fouls breed and raise their chicks in the seem manner has they do in their wild state. The jungle fours in the walk-in-aviary lay their eggs in shallow depressions made on the ground which are lined with drive leaves. The nest-sites are in these undergrowth. Chicks wonder around feeding on insects and grain in addition to the food that is provided.

Yours faithfully,

Director
