CONCLUSION:—
All kinds of birds are said to be the ornaments of trees. The
organs of male and female birds of any kind from Swan to Harita-
ones could not be easily seen by naked eye. The male and female
birds could not easily be indentified. Their menstrual course could
not be seen by human beings. But, everything could be seen and
identified of all animals previously mentioned. Unless people move
very closely and minutely with all the animals and birds, they can
not understand their nature, qualities, intercourse time, the method
of cohabitation, various methods of lonely plays, bad and good tem-
per, period of pregnancy, and signs of abhortion etc. Though all the
animals and birds, are, naturally bad in temper, they could be turned
as good ones by good training. The animels and birds which are
good and friendly among themselves, should be grouped in one place
and those which are bad enemical amongst themselves, in another
place. They must be kept in palaces, gardens, halls, cages, and by the
side of tanks and wells. The different kinds of food should be given
— 133 —

to them as per their desire according to the changes of seasons and
climate and thus, be protected well. The main nature and qualities of
the main breeds of all animals and birds have been described in this
Zoology and those of the mixed breed of animals and birds, may be
learnt by intel-ligent persons. Owing to the living of all animals and
birds by the side of rivers and lakes and in forests, mountains,
trees and lakes and rivers, their nature, colour and qualities do differ
from those, which live in towns, palaces, and gardens and other places.
They have been described in this work to some extent. Detailed
description in full may be learnt from the learned Pandits.
