INTRODUCT T
his is the third edition of Bird Scene which went ‘live’ on Monday 22nd August 2011 and is proving so successful as it allows us to promote both our Conservation projects that have interest around the world and give publicity to The National Exhibition that is so strongly supported by the 17 exhibiting clubs who exhibit at this event. I am certain that this third edition of Bird Scene will give readers the same level of quality and interest as the first two. It will confirm the areas that we will continue to cover in future editions. Our intention is to publish this e-magazine every other month with the February/March 2012 edition appearing on 23rd February 2012. By fixing the date of Issue 4 now you will know when to access our website for the latest edition. At this point it is appropriate to thank our Trade advertisers who so generously support us you will see their advertisements in this e-magazine without their assistance it is unlikely that Bird Scene would have been produced. Our intention is to use Bird Scene
to promote and raise donations for our Conservation activities around the world there are donation points on pages 3, 13, 41, 53 where you can pledge money to a particular project. Additionally Bird Scene will raise awareness of The National Exhibition which was held at Stafford County Showground on Sunday 9th a pictorial account appeared in the second issue and in this edition there are the results of the exhibition listed club by club which I am sure you will find interesting. The large banners publicising Bird Scene prominently displayed at The National Exhibition which received an attendance of over 6,000 visitors did much to promote this publication to UK hobbyist bird breeders.
In this issue Tony Pittman gives details of our longest running conservation project, the tinning of trees in Australia selected as nesting cavities by the beautiful Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo to protect them from predation by goannas, tree climbing lizards, which eat their nestlings. In this edition is the second
