Welcome
to British Birds In Aviculture.
This website has now been
online for over 2 years dealing
with all aspects of keeping
and breeding British softbill
& hardbill species, this
also includes mules, hybrids
and canaries.
Since getting involved in
the internet and web design,
I have noticed a huge gap
in regards to websites specializing
in these species; I have also
had plenty of feedback from
breeders of such species saying
how a new site specializing
in their side of the hobby
is well over due.
My personal experience of
keeping British species is
now in its third year with
much of the help and advice
being available on our BBIA
forum.
My main bird keeping interest
in the past was with the parakeet
species for the past 20+ years;
however I have decided to
take on my main passion within
birds, which is our Native
British species. Although
I am limited in experience
of Native species in regards
to breeding and such, I have
had some great help with information
and what the site should contain
to attract fellow British
breeders, by some very dedicated
British breeders.
I
think the success of this
website is based on information
gained from the viewers
and the content provided
by the viewers (the people
who breed the birds).
The
bbia site covers just about
everything related to breeding
British, INC. showing, bird
clubs, breeding setups,
mules & hybrids even
canaries as they do play
a part in this area and
in-depth articles from proven
breeders also basic specie
fact files.
We
to in time cover every aspect
of keeping and breeding
British, however this will
based greatly on the information
provided by you the breeders
and exhibiters, if you think
that another area of the
hobby should be included
or is not being done in
the right way I want to
know so we can continue
to improve on what we already
have.
If
you have the information
on a species, please send
us an article on how you
do things, this not only
helps the hobby and others
to get results from their
birds but also makes good
reading from the viewers
respect, and who knows may
even get others interested
in breeding British.
Many
members now see this site
as a valuable source of
information on the net for
their hobby, and visit,
post regular, this has helped
build the site in to a great
resource for others to learn
from and generally increase
the profile of the benefits
of breeding British.
The
British species breeders
have been in decline in
the past few years, with
many concentrating on the
foreign species, nobody
seems to be promoting British
with any degree of success.
However
with BBIA we are now providing
a specialized service that’s
free to join in and learn
valuable breeding tips etc.
(were ells do you get such
a service?).
All
we ask on BBIA is that you
consider giving a small
donation towards its running
costs, this is voluntary,
however without advertising
and member’s generosity
we would have to charge
for this free service as
it is not cheap to run.
Welcome
to BBIA
We are all simple bird keepers
just like you!
