Things about Me (Alan Einig)
I have kept Budgerigars since 1962 starting with a colourful collection of birds housed in my back Yard. On getting married in 1964 the birds were moved into a new 8 x 6 wooden shed. I was told then that it would never be big enough, it wasn’t. The next purchase was 14 x 8 with 24 breeding cages & two indoor flights. A second shed was added with a further 20 breeding cages, in 1991 these two sheds were replaced by a brick aviary, with 44 breeding cages and two internal flights, one attached to an outside flight.
In 1974 I took up my first administrative position as secretary of West Derby B.S., which became Merseyside B.S. when it amalgamated with Liverpool B.S. I was elected to the committee of L.C.N.W.B.S. in 1977, and was appointed General Secretary/Treasurer in July 1977. I was honoured by the members who elected me as President in my 25th Year of membership of this the No. 1 area society.
I have held a number of positions on L.C.N.W.B.S. apart from Gen. Sec. I have been Assistant Show Manager, Research Sub-Committee Chairman (with Dr Baker), News Report Editor twice, Subscription Secretary and Vice-Chairman. I also served on the B.S. General Council for 3 Years as area delegate. I have now been on the committee over 20 Years, and am now a Vice President and Treasurer.
I have bred most varieties of budgerigars over the years, reaching a peak of having in excess of 300 Birds at one time. The highest number of the different colours I have bred in one year is 53.
I have always tried to encourage beginners in this wonderful hobby, and if you have any queries I would be willing to offer answers. However, having known Dr John Baker since 1985, I will not attempt to diagnose illness in budgerigars. This is something you need to take up with a vet or with Dr Baker via the Budgerigar Society Research Program.
