Wasn`t Geoff Capes the Olympic shot putter a budgie breeder. I am sure I saw him in a short clip on T.V. with a budgie in his hand.

A pal of mine had a huge aviary keeping budgies and canaries,he told me once he could change the colour of canaries feathers by giving them a certain kind of drink in their water,I don,t know if he was pulling my leg or not so I went along with it!.Does this sound right to all the experts out there?.

Yes  . It was a powder to mix with drinking water  or egg food  called Carophyll Red . Only worked on Red Factor Canaries . My dad used to breed them and show them in competition

To be honest, driving around Sheffield is no different today.

 

RED LIGHT = STOP

 

GREEN LIGHT = GO

 

Sheffield's motorists still have yet to grasp this simple concept.

And driving on left hand side of the road!

My Uncle Harry Moore bred budgies in a shed at his house 305 Petre Street.  From 1952 he worked for his friend John  Hutchinson at his pet shop in the Wicker until it closed around 1972.
