Allowance of Food.

In Kashmír and in the aviaries of Indian amateurs, the birds are generally fed once a day; but at Court they are fed twice. A báz falcon gets a quantity of meat weighing 7 dáms; the jurrah, 6 d.; the bahrí, láchín, and k'helah, 5 d.; the báshah, 3 d.; the chappak báshah, shikarah, chappak shikarah, besrah, dhotís, &c., 2 d. Towards the close of every day, they are fed on sparrows, of which the báz, jurrah, and bahrí, get each seven; the láchín, five; the báshah, three; others, two. Charghs and lagars get at the same time meat. Shunqárs, sháhbázes, burkats, get one ser. On the hunting grounds they feed them on the game they take.
