Never thought I would have too, but due to ill health over the last couple of years I have had no choice but to retire from my lifelong hobby of Gloster Canaries. Was a difficult decision but the best for myself, the birds and my family.

I have enjoyed many years and made many, many friends from all over the world. I will hold onto those memories and grateful for them all.

Special thanks to David Rands who made the journey over from the UK to help me sort out the birds I had left. Really appreciate it. David has all the birds and equipment so any questions can be directed to him.

Also thanks to Ciarans Glosters for looking after the birds when I was too ill to manage them and Eugene Mccomb for chipping in as well. Again, I am so grateful.

Enjoy the breeding season.

Many thanks
Edward Loughran
