Cage & Aviary Birds Magazine

2 August 2023

If the plural of “spouse” is “spice”, some birds have all the luck – as we find out in our cover story, which describes the amazing range of tactics used in reproduction across the avian world. Fanciers who go in for colony breeding may know more about this than those who stick strictly to pairs! But if you don’t know your polyandry from your polygyny, this week’s C&AB brings help. Pair-breeding is very much the keynote elsewhere, though, with a special report on the gorgeous golden parakeet – and another one on the not-so-exotic moorhen! (Which still employs some unorthodox reproductive tactics, mind.) Canaries, budgerigars, finches and plenty of news to be found, too.
