Allen a Lizard canary breeder with wire breeding cages and also from the same contributor an article entitled ‘2014 a breeding season to forget!!!’ I would like to thank David for his contribution to this publication, without the work that they invest we would have little to publish. Unfortunately there seems to be a spate of thefts mainly from exhibitors keeping valuable show birds, please see the advice that John Hayward gave on this serious problem in the 18th issue of Bird Scene by going to the archive at the foot of our Home page website. In this issue I have included a very interesting article by Emma-Kate Freeman entitled ‘What to do about George’. George is a beautiful Goffins Cockatoo. Also an excellent article by Lovebird enthusiast and Treasurer of The Parrot Society Keith Jones on the Blue-masked Lovebird. For our conservation item I have selected the second part of the article on the Lear’s Macaw which the Society has just started to support. I do hope you enjoy reading this edition as much as I have in selecting the items to appear.
