That confirmed what Cage & Aviary Birds Editor Colin Mitchell had suspected for some time, and a series of basic articles was launched, aimed at encouraging newcomers. The series will cover canaries and other varieties also, so that as wide a range of new birdkeepers can benefit as possible.
I hope it helps. It will not answer every question you may have, but hopefully will provide confirmation of the steps you have already taken, or are about to take, and possibly give you some 'food for thought.' If you have a question that is not answered, please email and ask me. I will try to respond quickly, to benefit you and others who may have similar queries.
