gnasher16 30,535 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Strange question really but how are British native birds kept in an aviary likely to adapt to a totally different climate ?......If captive bred Goldies/Bullies were taken to Cyprus for example would they do ok or would they need those cold British winters and seasonal changes to really thrive and breed ?

fireman 11,012 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Plenty of folk who keep "natives" in Malta so they'll will and can handle the climate which i would imagine would be simular to cyprus so can't see it being a problem for them.. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Would there be any restrictions/regulations/etc with regards to bird flu you'd have to do before moving them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peterhunter86 8,627 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I was thinking the same malt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
budharley 945 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I don't know about the bird keeping rules in Cyprus gnash ,but they have goldies,greenies,siskins,chaffinch etc already there so possibly easier to get the birds while there rather than importing your own .

Don't think there is as plenty of folk go to belgium and holland and bring back birds,i'd say the rings being correct would be the most important bit really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TUFFTY 1,484 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 That would thrive mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,535 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 To be honest i havent looked into all the legal jargon yet someone told me it was possible so just weighing up the pros and cons for now.....i wasnt aware they had British native birds there Budharley ive seen a lot of the island and not seen any yet,plenty of aviaries and plenty of Canaries etc......probably makes more sense to get them there if thats the case.............anyway plenty of time to think about it and thanks for your thoughts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
