More expectedly, we talk shows: how to judge the final stages of a British bird one, how to manage the big day at a canary event and what we can learn from a modest pigeon exhibition There’s plenty of support from the world of pigeons, raptors (vultures!) and Border canaries, and we have details of the eagerly awaited Christmas raffle. |
