Canaries and Horses: Practical Tips and a Cairo Race Tale
A writer extols humane canary care emphasizing open space light and social interaction rather than dark cages and fear. He advises light diet varied with red pepper flaxseed and occasional salt pork, plus freedom to roam and regular bonding moments, recounting birds visiting the writer at work. Abbas Pasha’s challenge to race English horses against Arabs sparks a Cairo betting tale where an Irish mare wins an eight mile race, beating the Arab rival by a mile.
