Cage & Aviary Birds Magazine

26 June 2024

See some new birds this summer! Now is the time to visit zoos, birdparks and other collections in search of a bit of exotica. This week we focus on one exotic – Africa’s gorgeous violaceous turaco, which is doing very nicely at a bird garden near Sheffield! News from private softbill collections around the country, too. Meanwhile canary breeders have the end of the breeding season in sight, as we hear from members of the Border and Yorkshire fancies. A new series on budgies begins with a question: what makes – and mars – an exhibition budgerigar? Some outstanding expert tips also feature, on zebra finches and vacation cover for your birdroom.
