We have been contacted by a Gentleman from Swansea who is seeking assistance.
His father has been taken into hospital and he is wondering if there is anyone who could look after his birds for 6 weeks, maybe longer, depending on his father’s health. The birds would need to be moved from the house.

If you can help please contact the page and we can put you in touch.

Our next meeting will take place on Thursday 18th May. At this meeting we will be holding the final for the Adults in our bird and judging competition. Members required to bring a bird are Rob Taylor. Garry Warren, Ray Fern and Roy Watkins. Birds for this final must be adult birds, with your own ring, but must be a DIFFERENT BIRD to the one you won the round with.

We have a guest speaker on this night Mr Rob Keeber accompanied by Dave Swan. Rob has been a member of the B S since 1971. He has been a main panel judge for many years along with many wins on the show bench. He has bred most colours in his time in the hobby and has a great wealth of knowledge on all aspects of keeping budgerigars. They are travelling down from Leicestershire so please make every effort to attend and give them a proper welcome.

On Saturday 20th May we will be holding our annual Members Show (Often called ore Young Stock Show). This will be held at our normal meeting head quarters. Birds must be benched by 08.30 judging commences at 09.00. This show is for all ages of birds. Adults, Current year and Bar heads. Judge for the day will be Brian Reese. Along with Brian we have Jeff Attwood will be attending to give the members the benefit of his wisdom with the budgerigar hobby. Jeff has been a member since 1966 and has seen many changes during his time. This is someone we can all learn a few things from.

Let’s make their journey worthwhile and have a good attendance for this event.
