  • UK-First-Breeding-Register.Pdf
    INTRODUCTION TO EDITION The original author and compiler of this record, Dave Coles has devoted a great deal of his time in creating a unique reference document which I am privileged to continue working with. By its very nature the document in a living project which will continue to grow and evolve and I can only hope and wish that I have the dedication as Dave has had in ensuring the continuity of the “First Breeding Register”. Initially all my additions and edits will be indicated in italics though this will not be used in the main body of the record (when a new record is added). Simon Matthews (2011) It is over eighty years since Emilius Hopkinson collated his RECORDS OF BIRDS BRED IN CAPTIVITY, which formed the starting point for my attempt at recording first breeding records for the UK. Since the first edition of my records was published in 1986, classification has changed several times and the present edition incorporates this up-dated classification as well as first breeding recorded since then. The research needed to produce the original volume took many years to complete and covered most avicultural literature. Since that time numerous people have kept me abreast of further breedings and pointing out those that have slipped the net. This has hopefully enabled the records to be kept up-to- date. To those I would express my thanks as indeed I do to all that have cast their eyes over the new list and passed comments, especially the ever helpful Reuben Girling who continues to pass on enquiries.

They mourn a loss, they feel love and loyalty, and they experience fear. During wars and conflicts, fear is a prevailing emotion among humans, who worry for their well- being. Animals, too, feel fear during human conflicts, and that fear is magnified when those animals are caged. History has shown the victimization of zoo animals during military conflicts. Zoo animals already lack agency over their own lives, and in times of war, they are seen as a liability.

  • Outstanding Family Homes in a Unique Tree Lined Avenue
    Outstanding Family Homes in a Unique Tree Lined Avenue Old Cavehill Road Belfast BT15 Cavehill Country Park Photograph courtesy of Northern Ireland Tourist Board Set in the leafy, suburban Cavehill area of North Belfast - declared one of the top 50 places to live in the UK by the Sunday Times - there’s something pretty special about the Old Cavehill Road. Not only does it have the rolling Belfast hills and Cavehill Country Park on its doorstep - it also has a real sense of community - a village within the city. And it’s not hard to understand why this location is such a sought-after place to live. A short 10 minute walk from your front door will see you surrounded by beautiful greenery, woodland walks, historic monuments, wildlife and Belfast Castle, not to mention breathtaking panoramic views of Belfast and beyond from atop this iconic hill. With good transport links into the city centre, and a great range of schools, cafés, restaurants and local shops, you’d be hard pushed to find a better urban location than this one. Belfast Zoo Belfast City Hall A sought-after place to live. 2 7 6 5 4 3 Computer visual Tucked away in this quiet residential street, Old Cavehill boasts two semi- detached and five detached homes. These homes are characterised by spacious, modern interiors with high-quality fixtures and fittings throughout. Outside, the exteriors have been tastefully finished in classic red brick in keeping with the Victorian character of the street.
