April 2014 Finch Bizz

Editorial

I’m feeling like I’m going to rust away with all this rain, I hope no one’s aviaries have floated away. It’s good to see that numbers are slowly rising in attendance at our monthly meetings. We have old members returning as well as visitors, so that’s great to see.

I see in the last “Finch Breeders Review” the official magazine from the head branch, that they have a segment entitles “Around the Branches” which gives a small review of what’s going on at the branch meetings. The new committee of the main branch have come up with quite a few new ideas, which has given them an air of enthusiasm and their magazine in all its colour is a beauty.

April Meeting Presentation

At our next monthly meeting on Wednesday 23 April 2014, Mick Grixti will be presenting a slideshow on South African wildlife.

This is a presentation of his recent trip to South Africa with some excellent photos of weavers, whydahs and other finches, some of which most bird lovers have never seen before.

There is also some excellent shots of other birds, and also some of big game. This presentation should not be missed, so please bring along some friends as all visitors are welcome.
