Cage & Aviary Birds | 19-Mar-25
How many colours make white? In birds, the answer is lots – and this week we learn how the genetic condition called leucism underlies many of the colours and patterns seen in cage birds. We’re not just talking “white bits”: did you know that many all-white finches are actually pied (but extra pale)?For canary fans there’s lots to enjoy this week, starting with a visit to the legendary “father of the cinnamon”, Derek Dix. He it was who virtually kept this breed from extinction, and his vision of the cinnamon, past and future, is without equal. We have practical advice on how to catch your birds safely when you need to get hold of them; and how to become a YouTube channelmeister! Plenty of regulars, too – plus the latest DEFRA news from Scotland.
