    About this ebook

    With 26,000 trees in Central Park, why does a robin family choose an exposed holly bush on Fifth Avenue for their nest?
    The fate of this growing feathered family unites neighbors as they meet daily to bear witness to a timeless spring ritual: the hatching and fledging of chicks.

      Eagerly Into Autumn

      Oct 27, 2021

      THE summer has been kind. I am referring to the harvest of berries that are now available. A very good crop of blackberries, rowan berries, hawthorn and elderberries are hereabouts and (I hope) right across the length and breadth of these isles. Our

      A Lively Delight: Breeding Pied Wagtails, 2021

      Nov 17, 2021

      I HAVE always been interested in keeping British birds one way or another. In fact, if I couldn’t keep British (natives), I wouldn’t keep birds at all. When I was in my teens, I kept kestrels and sparrowhawks, and hand-reared magpies. Then I went int

      Our Abiding Pleasure In Birds

      Oct 6, 2021

      AN UNEXPECTED telephone call from a person who used to breed exhibition budgerigars a few years ago in partnership with his father, helped to convince me afresh about the pleasures we get from keeping birds. It was Stewart Griffin, who was formerly a

      THE Pekin robin (also called redbilled leiothrix (Leiothrix lutea)) is native to southern Asia and is also now feral in some parts of southern Europe. Owing to their natural habitat, these robins are used to low temperatures, which makes them an idea

      THE 2021 BREEDING season has had its challenges for my turquoisine grass parakeets (Neophema pulchella). I am fairly certain that most of these challenges relate to the frosts that we had every morning during April, which delayed the start of my bree

      IT IS INTERESTING to compare the weather we have had this year with last. If the length of my grass is anything to go by, we have certainly had a wetter April and May (up to May 22 when this was written) than at this time in 2022. It has, on average,
