Preference for Birds
as Pets Is Increasing
Imports into the United States of
live birds for pets have Increased
more than 520 per cent and their value
has Increased 600 per cent In the last
four years, according to the Depart
ment of Commerce. Eevelation of
actual figures to this effect bears out
a general belief that a "bird renais
sance" Is on the way.
The majority of birds sold In Amer
ica are imported, though domestic
representation Is growing constantly.
The import figures are interesting. In
1922 we Imported 192.000 birds valued
at $122,000. In 1920 we Imported 486.
000 birds valued at $737,000. The av
erage cost of each bird rose from 68
cents to $1.50. Indicating better qual
ity aril keener demand. This year,
according to an officer of the United
Canary Breeders' association, the fig
ures will be much higher. Chicago
