Sovereign shared our love of aviculture

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty The Queen, a figure whose association for bird-keeping has left a lasting mark on the world of aviculture. Throughout her reign, The Queen's passion for birds has been a source of inspiration for countless enthusiasts, including us at Haith’s. Her Majesty's profound connection with our feathered friends spanned many decades, enriching both her life and the lives of those who shared her love for avian companionship.

The Queen's involvement in aviculture was not merely a royal pastime but a genuine expression of her deep-seated appreciation for the natural world. From the regal elegance of her aviaries to her humble interactions with birds, Her Majesty's dedication to avian welfare resonated far beyond the confines of the royal grounds. She promoted a culture of care and responsibility, urging others to cherish and safeguard avian species.

One poignant testament to The Queen's devotion to birds is captured in a timeless newspaper clipping, a pictorial tribute to Her Majesty and other members of the royal family. The images reflect moments of quiet joy as The Queen tended to her feathered companions in the tranquil surroundings of the Royal Lodge.

As we reflect on Her Majesty's legacy, we are reminded of the profound impact she has had on the avicultural community. Beyond her official duties, The Queen's genuine affection for birds served as a beacon of inspiration, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the beauty and intricacy of avian life.

As we honour The Queen's memory, let's reaffirm our dedication to the welfare of birds, a cause she held dear. Her legacy is an important reminder of the enduring bond between humanity and the natural world, inspiring future generations to cherish and ensure the well-being of our feathered friends for years to come.
