By way of a test case, Cage & Aviary Birds contributor Colin O’Hara contacted the Animal & Plant Health Agency (APHA) by email this month. We here reproduce Mr O’Hara’s email and the APHA response, for the benefit of exhibitors.
A new British bird club has formed in response to next month’s South-Eastern Classic Bird Show and Sale, presented by Cage & Aviary Birds.
Video footage showing the chase for an owl killer has been released by the RSPB, following a successful court case.
Cage & Aviary Birds, established in 1902, is the world’s only weekly newspaper dedicated to birdkeeping.
