INTRODUCTION
I have been drinking beer and breeding Budgerigars for over 33 years. In that time I have sampled many beers not only those brewed in the UK but also imports from around the world. I have tried to breed Budgerigars for colour and their varieties.
I am neither a beer taster or reviewer nor a Budgerigar
shower or judge, I just like drinking beer and breeding Budgies!
I have however, tried home brewing many years ago using kits
which you could buy at certain shops they were drinkable but never tasted the
same as you would get in a pub or in a bottle they always had a chemical taste
to them.
As for the Budgerigars, I have always tried to breed them
for their colour, pairing them to breed certain colours and trying to keep the
colour even and not patchy. Knowing what colours are dominant or recessive
helps to produce the desired colour…eventually! Also, knowing what varieties
are dominant or recessive helps you to be able to re-produce them enhancing the
colour and pattern markings in the case of opalines, pieds and clearflights
etc. but there are still many more varieties to add the list.
The articles attached to the two sections on beer and
budgies are just my thoughts, experiences and knowledge gained from reading
articles and reading books but even after all these years there is still so
much to learn.
