Cage & Aviary Birds Magazine

15 May 2024

The 2024 breeding season is booming, and there are some pretty special species on the perch around the country. We focus on some of the gorgeous softbills that are being reared, from green pigeons to toucanets via thick-knees. Housing is in focus, too, with a set of labour-saving tips from mixed-collection keeper Jed Savage: a man who can really think out of the box. We have comment and personal appraisals on roller canaries and the local scene in the South-East. There’s lots for budgie fans, including an insider’s view on the momentous recent AGM of the Budgie Society. And we also report from the worlds of Fife canaries, native hardbills and so-elegant waterfowl.
