Ronnie Sillitoe

Now representing over 30 clubs both in the UK & Europe, as well as overseas, this new website enables both club officials and fanciers to keep up to date with what is happening both within the Border Convention as it oversees and administers the hobby, in addition to news and show results from all the member clubs.

Working together with other Border websites, the aim of all is to both promote - and safeguard the hobby of breeding and showing Border Canaries.

This Site is to showcase the member Clubs that make up the Border Convention, if any Club can suggest ways the site can be improved please  contact the Secretary.

Captive Bird Registration Rules

Rules have changed for the registration of captive birds, these were changed in December but seems to have gone under the radar.

Today I have spoken to various departments at Defra and A.P.H.A. but nobody will give me a definite answer on the rule change on canaries only aviary birds and Border canaries in my opinion are not Aviary Birds!

Hopefully they will get back to me tomorrow in the meantime the rules are on the Defra consultation page.

Avian Flu

Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 has been confirmed at a premises near Hutton Cranswick, East Yorkshire, Yorkshire.

A 3km Protection Zone and a 10km Surveillance Zone have been put in place.
