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.
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.

Attack, Attack, Attack
There are a few breeders who have woken up that they have to attack quality now or give up. That is why I have attacked that myself and built up a great depth of quality so that breeders know they have a good chance of getting something to improve what they have at home.

Gerald Binks – Andy Chick Interview – December 2008
