Cage & Aviary Birds  |  2nd September 2026
On the cover: a rapidly flying dipper - and we ask why? Why do some birds fly faster than others? And what adaptations have they made in physique and behaviour? The science of flight is relevant even to cage and aviary birds, which are simply adapting to their environment in a new way. Also this week: latest news from Cotswold Wildlife Park, where greater coucals have just fledged. Concluding his two-part article, Dutch budgerigar authority Peter van Amelsvoort discusses why some budgies eat dead budgies. Dave Brown advises us to look at the true costs to clubs of putting on proper events. Jason Green relates his birdroom priorities for August and explains why he swam the Hellespont (!)
