Cage & Aviary Birds Magazine

17 July 2024

Britain’s most overlooked bird? The tiny wren is inconspicuous yet it’s found everywhere, even on remote islands (and in people’s aviaries!) A delight to those lucky enough to keep them, they lead event-packed lives and are among our finest songsters. That’s our cover bird. It shares the limelight with budgerigars (more advice on show faults of the head) and the most terrifying owl C&AB has ever seen – Blakiston’s Fish Owl! Lots of show plans shared this week, as well as in-depth expertise on finches, barbets, pigeons, spoonbills and how to avoid egg-binding.
