Cage & Aviary Birds
|February 28, 2018
Starting with Yorkies? Once you have considered the when, where and how of adding stock to your set-up, next on your agenda is who to purchase stock from, advises BRIAN KEENAN.

NOW we get to the nitty-gritty of your quest for obtaining Yorkshires: choosing a specialist supplier. It is important to understand that there are no “professional” Yorkshire canary breeders in the UK. Instead, we are all hobbyist breeders who have generally spent a lifetime developing our own unique studs.
Each breeder is aiming at the same thing: a bird approaching the ideal model. But each will see this a little differently and unconsciously place emphasis on different points within the Yorkie’s make-up. The result is that no two breeders’ studs are exactly alike; even partnership birds differ slightly!
