Cage & Aviary Birds  |  10-Jan-24
A beautiful mystery: that sums up the London fancy canary, with its transformation from dark nest feather to yellow and black in maturity. Now, for the first time, we reveal how this transformation comes about, through a process that is well known in nature but completely unfamiliar in birdkeeping! A must-read for canary breeders. We focus too on another iconic bird, Lear’s macaw, which reintros are helping to restore in the wild, but now faces sobering new threats from poaching. We learn about the UK breeding last year of the spectacular greater coucal, and get starting-out advice from the experts on doves, parrots, budgies and canaries. Regulars include New Year plans for finches and colour budgies, as well as a special budgie diary, and of course lots of news from the club and show scene.
