Arguably the most popular form of birdkeeping is indoors, with a single bird in a cage. The choice of bird is often a budgerigar, sometimes a canary, less often a parrot and occassionally other varieties. Another avenue of birdkeeping is an aviary in which a collection or birds is kept and often allowed to breed. Finally we have the exhibition bird that is selectively bred to a "standard of perfection". This is a part of the 'fancy' that is enjoyed by many.

Welcome to the Best Of Breeds aviary where you can learn about the various varieties of bird, contact owners and   breeders plus the essential suppliers.

TICK CONTROL
HSE Licence Number:  8307

Regularly check your animals for ticks, particularly around the head, ears, legs and paws, as the presence of a tick is very uncomfortable and can lead to skin problems and disease.

Several species of tick have been reported in the U.K. Ticks have complicated four life stages: Egg, six-legged larva, eight-legged nymph and adult.  Visible with the naked eye at all stages, they become active in spring, early summer and autumn, when temperatures are above 70C.

Ticks prefer the moisture and protection of uncultivated pasture, but can quite easily be picked up in parks and gardens. Brushed off grasses and shrubs by passing animals they spend several days as blood-sucking temporary parasites. Unable to jump or fly, they crawl into position, pierce the animal’s skin with their mouths; squirt saliva to act as an anti-coagulant and firmly fix themselves with their backward-pointing barbs, that prevent easy removal. Attempts to remove ticks without making them relax; is painful to the animal, can result in the mouthpiece being left behind under the skin and cause infection to set in.  Once engorged with blood the tick will drop to the ground to continue its lifecycle that can take up to 3 years.

Due to the slow, blood sucking nature of a tick, they are among the most efficient carriers of disease. The best way to protect your animals against tick-borne diseases is to avoid tick bites.
