Cage & Aviary Birds

What is a successful breeding season? • Twenty on the sticks? Thirty? It’s more than just a numbers game, says DAVE ALLEN, and the main priority is to focus on the specific goals we’ve set for ourselves

A pairing innovation • The chance juxtaposition of birds in breeding cages led TONY EDWARDS to try something he had never done before – and despite some setbacks he is pleased with the outcome

Maryland's celebrity bird • The official emblem of one US state, the Baltimore oriole flourishes throughout eastern North America and is also fairly well known in aviculture. BILL NAYLOR finds it to be a fascinating representative of a uniquely New World family, the characterful Icteriidae

Flourishing at floor-level • In the second of three articles about the adaptations of birds to their environment, PAUL DONOVAN investigates the diverse set of species that lead much of their life on the ground

SHOW FAULTS: general points • In the last article of his series on the principal faults in show budgies, KEITH LEEDHAM considers a tranche of miscellaneous features that must not be overlooked, whether you are exhibiting, judging or simply looking

A perfect storm in our birdroom • This year, events have conspired to spike VICKY BROWN’s canary breeding season, although, as she writes, a precious dozen young frills have made it as far as the moult

Q&A: Rosemary Low • This week, Dot catches up with her friend, the internationally respected expert and writer ROSEMARY LOW, to find out how her views on parrots have developed over the years

How (and why) I built my new room • Following his background article in the August 21 issue, LAURENCE EDGAR explains the design and construction of his new set-up – and his reasons for going DIY

Summertime travels for Southport members

'Smart' grey yellow crowned YSS winner
