Major Request from Gerald Binks
I will be approaching many experienced breeders to write and submit articles for the site – along with their photographs of birds, their aviaries and themselves. That, however, does not prevent those less experienced from also contributing. There is great pleasure in seeing your work published and the benefits are profound.
New BA23 Photographs
We have added nine new photographs of BA23 2010 Breeding Adults.
No Flash Photography
It has been reported to Budgerigar.co.uk, that the Budgerigar Society has banned all flash photography at all Budgerigar Society Patronage Shows with immediate effect.
New Readers Poll
A new poll is up and running. The results from this new poll will help Budgerigar.co.uk to publish more of what YOU want – so please make sure your voice is heard – vote now! If there is a survey or poll topic that you would like Budgerigar.co.uk to run, please contact us.
Show Winners
I recently received photographs of a few 2010 show winners. Unfortunately, though I can see these are quality unmoulted 2010 young birds, they are crouching and not displaying their true quality for assessment.
UK Budgerigar Quality
I have recently had several visitors from Europe, who apparently took the earlier view that the UK budgerigars had slipped behind the European qualities. They had also visited other leading breeders and had now reversed their former opinions completely, including their opinions while at my aviary.
Facebook and Amazon
I receive many requests to join social networking websites, such as Facebook. Secondly, it has been brought to my attention that Amazon continues to sell first editions of “The Challenge” on a steady basis.

Budgerigar Society Convention – June 2010
Were you one of those who were fortunate enough to attend the 2006 Budgerigar Society (BS) Convention? If so, you are also probably one who has been talking about the event ever since.
Sawdust – and the Possible Dangers for Budgerigars
This may seem like a trifling subject to some – but it is so important. In my case, it has been a cause of concern as I have lost a few 100% fit adults – found dead on the breeding cage floor for no reason at all that I could fathom.
