Die Federn der Eeddrump kommen auf die geringste Handhabung heraus, aber wachsen wieder sehr schnell: Es ist ein vollkommen winterharter Vogel, und kann sicher außerhalb der Türen das ganze Jahr über gehalten werden.

. Birds I have kept in years gone by : with original anecdotes and full directions for keeping them successfully . , boiled rice, and fruit, mealworms, green food and poppy-seed. It seemsalmost presumptuous to differ from so eminent an authority, but I have found oats and soaked bread a sufficient additionto the ordinary diet of canary, millet, and hemp seed.

The feathers of the Eedrump come out on the least handling, but grow again very rapidly: it is a perfectly hardy bird, and may be safely kept out of doors all the year round. A pair I once kept in an enclosure along with some bantamchickens, would run to the old hen whenever she called herbrood, of which she evidently thought they formed a part, for she never interfered with them even when they chasedand pecked her children, as they often did.
