Birdworld have received the latest newsletter from the Dartford Kent BS. You have to agree this club is one up and coming clubs who have embraced technology to prompt DKBS and the hobby. Well done Dartford Kent BS.
Newsletter No.6
The Committee hopes this Newsletter finds all our members safe and well during these extraordinary times.
As is customary, we would like to welcome our new club members who have joined us in April:- Healey Trott, Laura Jackson, Nick Cox, Glenn Hawthorn, Gareth Jones, Noah Smith, Vishal Saindane, Kevin Eatwell, Darren Smith, Mark Turner and David Williams.
We would also like to thank Norman Long and Wayne Thorne for renewing their membership for 2020.
Our Club Membership now stands at 47 members. We wish to continue to build on this number, with particular focus on budgie enthusiasts living within reasonable driving distance of our club and therefore able to attend club meetings when we eventually return to our hall.
The Committee welcome any further suggestions that would support our endeavours in this regard.
Perhaps we can encourage our members to talk to fellow enthusiasts within the hobby, telling them what is going on at our club and gently suggesting to them, they are missing out by not being involved.
Although the Coronavirus has brought many pastimes to a temporary halt, unlike most people, we are fortunate to be able to continue to enjoy our hobby, which for many of us, is conveniently situated at the end of our gardens.
As a Committee we are delighted to support and hopefully enhance your experience within the hobby, by continuing to run our club meetings on the third Thursday of every month, from 19:30 to 21:30, using “Zoom Live Video Link” to offer our members the opportunity to enjoy our meetings, from the comfort and safety of their own homes.
Our new member Kevin Eatwell (BS Vet), has kindly offered to deliver a series of Budgie health related “Zoom” presentations, on behalf of our club and for the benefit of our members, dispelling some of the myths surrounding budgie health management, for which the next “Zoom” presentation, discussing “Parasites and how to manage them,” is scheduled for Tuesday 5th May, which is definitely something to look forward to and not to be missed, so please write the date in your diaries.
We will be sending out the invites to Kevin’s presentation over the next few days and confirming once this has been actioned, via our Facebook Page.
If you haven’t received your invite by Monday evening, having checked your Junk Mailbox, please message Tony Pringle.
We will also inform you of subsequent scheduled presentations as part of the Budgie Health Series, as and when Kevin is free to deliver them.
Notification of the meetings will be posted on our Facebook Page.

“Trichomonas Is a hidden killer of birds of all ages”
Trichomonas is an endemic parasite in the crop of your birds.
Although Ronidazole is often used in water as a preventative, any birds showing signs of vomiting or reflux should be treated with Metronidazole by crop tube.
