Cage & Aviary Birds Magazine

22 March 2023

Greenfinches like you’ve never seen them! This week top Belgian breeder John Decrae serves up a gallery of gorgeous new mutation greenies from his collection. It’ll be an inspiration for every fan of native hardbills to strive for new and beautiful colours. Turning to native softbills, we’re reminded of the cheeky delight of living with a jackdaw. We get a springtime aviary-prep refresher from the professionals and essential advice on pairing canaries and zebra finches. We learn the true value of our hen budgies and debate the faculty of birds to discern beauty. That’s before we get to news from around the hobby and elsewhere. It’s another packed paper.
