Cage & Aviary Birds | 13th August 2025
This week we focus on the world’s grouse: spectacular gamebirds that lag behind pheasants and quail in aviculture, but repay attention in spades. They include some peerless exponents of the communal display, where males make a fool of themselves and females pick the best poser! We all recognise species such as the red grouse and ptarmigan, but this week we meet some of their exotic relatives from both Old and New Worlds. Equally gorgeous, if smaller, is the Gouldian finch, which can (as we explain) be kept enjoyably in the home as well as the birdroom. We have updates on Lizard, Yorkshire and Border canaries, tips on show-prepping zebra finches, advice for show secretaries and - in a packed issue - meet the prize-winning editor of “The Budgerigar”.
