four years about this way of communicating with bird enthusiasts and I am sure that this knowledge will become more and more valuable as we see further increases in costs to paper magazines. We are always happy to receive articles about the species that are being exhibited at The National and are very pleased to give publicity to the club supplying the information. Regular readers will know that Bird Scene as been produced to publicise The National Exhibition held each year at our October Sale Day/Show which will be held on Sunday 9th October and to promote our Conservation efforts for threatened 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 besides the two lead articles we have ‘Does your Parrot Really Need a Mate’ by Rosemary Low. ‘Being Prepared’ by Emma Freeman and ‘Ecuador – A Land of Lost Beauty’ By David Steptowe.


Unfortunately there seems to be a continued spate of thefts mainly from exhibitors keeping valuable show birds, it appears that exhibitors are being followed home by the thieves so they then know where the exhibitor resides. Also in this issue are details relating to The National Exhibition especially the minutes of the meeting that was held with the exhibiting clubs which took place at The Quality Hotel, Allesley, Coventry, on Sunday 15th May. 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. With numbers increasing in the canary sections we will have more of these delightful birds in the Argyle Centre this year.
