Cage & Aviary Birds Magazine

14 December 2022

If you’ve got a hen bird that builds a mean nest, check out our main article on weaver birds this week. Their exquisite and often immense nests are justly famed – what you may not know is that the male birds build a new nest from scratch if the hen doesn’t fancy their first effort. It’s a feat of construction that defies belief! Also from Africa, we hear why there’s a waxbill species just for you, and from South America why the search goes on for a virtually unknown parakeet in Colombia. Ollie Crowther of YouTube fame passes on his biosecurity tips, and there’s bags of practical advice on budgies (exhibition and colour), and canaries of several varieties.
