To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The problem of "small cage" vs. "flight cage" was decided in favor of the latter, and to-day the loss of life from accident or fighting is practically nothing. In the first few years considerable time was devoted to the study of avian diseases and their cure, and while much was accomplished, it was soon discovered that prevention was the keynote to success. To- day the most careful attention is given to prophylactic treatment. When a bird arrives it is quarantined, its eyes, throat and body ex-... amined, and its feathers dusted with insect powder. Then, before being placed in a cage, the pugnacity of its prospective cage-mates, the temperature, water supply, etc., are con- sidered. For the thousand and one contingencies which constantly arise in work of this kind no hard and fast rules can ever be framed. Snowy Owls are most interesting and beautiful birds, but they invariably sickened and died in the intense heat of summer. But instead of putting this species on the black list, whose keeping would mean only cruelty, the ex- pedient was tried of putting the birds in cold storage as it were, placing them in a cool, dark, damp cellar — the nearest approach to the conditions of an Arctic night.
