BIRDS & BIRDKEEPING
IN MY previous Talk of the Tyne article (Cage & Aviary Birds, March 8) I alluded to my visit to George Eltringham, the secretary of the Northern Border FCC. It was on February 28 that I called on George to view his impressive stud of self cinnamon Border fancy canaries. In his birdroom George keeps 12 pairs-plus of cinnamons and a couple of pair of self greens.
George Eltringham has been a champion exhibitor all his life, inheriting his passion from his father and uncle, and- a rarity on the Border show bench.
