Welcome to British Birds in Aviculture (BBIA) "GUEST"
If your visiting BBIA as a guest, please feel free to join and help the BBIA grow.
All parts of BBIA are completely free so all within this great hobby can share their experiences within their bird rooms and aviaries and even on the show bench.
BBIA is a specialised website that covers British Hardbills & Softbills, Mules & Hybrids, Canaries & related species
We have a vast knowledge within this site via the various articles available and a wealth of knowledge freely shared on a daily basis by the many members and staff we have on BBIA.
It doesn’t matter how experienced or none experienced you are we can all learn something new from fellow breeders and exhibitors of these fantastic species.
All we ask in return on BBIA is that were possible you share your experiences were possible in the hope of helping other members with help and advice, and remember this; no question is classed as a daft question, we all have different levels of experience so will not be taken in any other way other than to help were possible.
We also ask to please respect other member’s views as any post is only from the member’s point of view.
We are a very friendly site and don’t accept members being bullied by other members, after all we are all bird keepers and don’t expect to be insulted in anyway but just to provide a FREE helpful service for our members.
Unfortunately we are unable to allow guests to view the forum which is purely a security measure as a method of protecting members from such as bird room theft etc.

Hi all back in 2004 when we first started BBIA, the majority of members were more accustomed to the hardbills.
For some reason very few took on the challenges and delights of the softbills, in fact we really struggled to get many active softbill breeders.
It would be interesting to find out via a poll, if the situation has changed any.

Advertise your club here on BBIA!
Involved with or have the details of your local club or society?
If so you can advertise and provide up and coming events or anything ells related to the club/society you’re involved with within the “Local & National clubs & society listings”.
Simply start a new topic with the name of the club/society in the title on the forum "LOCAL, NATIONAL CLUBS & SOCIETY LISTINGS" and then provide the details you would like to help promote and recruit new members within the content of the new topic (that simple).
You can then update as required with announcements, events or whatever.
Give it a go
Regards
Karl

We some time ago applied to be affiliated to the British Bird Council, we felt that there would be several benefits to this should the council accept BBIA, whilst we had every intention in seeking opinions of BBIA membership, we were confident that we would have the support of the membership, and did think it would have been a pointless exercise, plus a waste of BBIA members time if the council were to reject our application.
We are extremely proud to announce that this affiliation was indeed ratified at the recent BBC AGM & now we are affiliated.
We were requested to refrain announcing it for a while by the committee just so the minutes could be published & communication for all the member clubs would be fair.
Unfortunately this has been raised on another forum now so it is only fair that we make the official announcement of what we see as an important move, albeit under rather forced circumstance.
There is a big step from openly discussing any issue on a totall ...

Breakthrough as scientists develop one-shot jab that WILL beat flu
By David Derbyshire
Last updated at 4:45 PM on 23rd February 2009
The new drug has the potential to save thousands - if not millions - of lives during a major pandemic
A superdrug that protects against all the most deadly types of flu has been developed by scientists.
A single injection of the anti-viral medicine can fight off everything from a common winter virus to a life-threatening strain of bird flu, researchers say.
The breakthrough brings closer the Holy Grail of influenza treatment - a oneshot vaccine for lifelong protection against every imaginable type of the virus.
Researchers believe the new drug, which uses man-made antibodies, could be available in less than five years. A vaccine would follow soon afterwards.
Flu experts say it is only a matter of time be ...

Nutrition for British Birds
By Malcolm Green – The Birdcare Company
This article will focus on diets for finches though its general principles apply just the same to softbills. I will finish it with a little section on softbill diets.
Getting the foundation right
You will all have read long and boring stuff on vitamins and minerals and I’m not going to repeat all that here. All I am going to say is that wild birds eat fresh, green, sappy seeds and fruits etc which are rich in these trace nutrients and, when we feed dry seed as a basic diet, we are feeding stuff with very low levels of most of these things. Deficiencies of these nutrients will lead to health probl ...
