We've identified ONE pet bird related item - a Chinese sweet pea pattern bird feeder, from San Diego Old Town. Do you want the citation? I can't remember off hand which project it was... S. Walter -----Original Message----- From: Warner, Mark ([log in to unmask]) Sent: Monday, November 15, 2021 9:52 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: zooarchaeology - pet birds Hi David, We did a chapter in the sandpoint (ID) report on pets and work animals. The bulk of the chapter was horse care, but we also had a bit on pets, including a discussion of the ceramic feeder we found that was part of a bird cage from a Chinese-occupied site. The report is big (4 volumes) and hard to find on Idaho transportation's website. I am including the links below. Note: there is a focused discussion of the bird cage in vol 1 (p. 67) and a broader discussion on pets as chapter 8 in volume 2. Feel free to ping me off list if you have questions about the project. https://apps.itd.idaho.gov/Apps/env/cultural/ENV_Sandpoint1.pdf https://apps.itd.idaho.gov/Apps/env/cultural/ENV_Sandpoint2.pdf Best, Mark Warner U. of Idaho [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Mather, David (ADM) Sent: Monday, November 15, 2021 9:01 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: zooarchaeology - pet birds Hello - is anyone aware of zooarchaeological finds identifiable as pet birds? Or related artifacts such as bird cages or related equipment? I'm developing a historic context for mockingbird remains found in the early 19th century Officers' Latrine at Fort Snelling in Minnesota. They appear to be pet birds and I'm wondering if there are comparable finds elsewhere.
