parrots in the wild. An archive of earlier editions of Bird Scene can be found on the Home Page of our website www.theparrotsocietyuk.org so if you would like to see earlier versions please do log on to our site. In this edition we have two excellent articles on canaries. One being the final section of an article by leading Blue Lizard breeder David Allen regarding wire versus solid breeding cages and the second by Chris Smith on the Fiorino canary which was developed in Italy. There is also an article by Allan F Manning on Keeping and Breeding Ruppell’s Parrots which is very interesting and an article by Dot Schwarz on Training Parrots at Natural Encounters Ranch which should appeal to those interesting in keeping pet birds.


These items are followed by a report on the security considerations that need to be addressed by parrot enthusiasts which seem to


be a particular target of thieves. Unfortunately there seems to be a spate of thefts mainly from breeders of valuable birds, please see the advice that John Hayward gives on this serious problem. Also in this issue are details relating to The National Exhibition especially the meeting that was held with the exhibiting clubs which took place at The Quality Hotel, Allesley, Coventry on Sunday 26th April. These annual meetings are so important to ensure the smooth running of the event which started in its present format in 2007 and is going from strength to strength thanks to the support we are receiving from the bird clubs who so vigorously support the Exhibition. It is very pleasing to report that these meetings are still well attended and ensure that we are all ‘up to speed’ on such areas as Show Schedules and Lifting Arrangements that are so important to a successful show.
