CANARIES
I HAVE no doubt that there is far more awareness of the old and rare breed canaries among birdkeepers now than there used to be. The revivals of the London fancy and the English cinnamon are fine examples of how a breed can suddenly become a household name, after having been relatively unknown in the hobby.
Certainly, there are fashions in birdkeeping. A new mutation in budgies or finches will be in high demand at first, but this usually drops as theappear in fair numbers and the next be almost non-existent on the show bench.
