Phone 235.1640 Exeter Dashwood Hobbyist Raises Budgies And Wins Many Prizes With Stock Ray VanDorsselaer has a hobby thats for the birds --and he loves all 250 of them. Driven by a desire to show top grade canaries and budgies, Mr. VanDorsselaer started six years ago with 25 birds he bought from a variety of retail outlets in Lon- don, "to get the best for show and breeding." Now he has about 300 birds of both types. Although the number has increased 10 -fold, Mr. Van- Dorsselaer is still seeking his elusive goal of a near -perfect bird. one that will match any- thing bird -fanciers in England can raise. His ambition is to develop a strain with excellent coloring and lines to match the English birds selling at $900 a pair. "1 could'nt afford that, " he says, "so I'm trying to get the same thing. During the six years, he has selected the best -looking birds from each new hatch for breed- ing and sold the remainder to finance a hobby that now costs $80 a month for seed alone. To accommodate the birds, he moved a small house into his backyard from a field and then added outside flights . Lastear, his efforts began to pay off. He won three trophies at the annual show of the London and District Cage -Bird Associa- tion, of which 'le is now pres- ident, including the Arn Chal- lenge Trophy for the best young novice budgerigar. This year he did still better, coming home with nine winning entries. Although he started out rather modestly, Ray now houses his birds in 80 home-made cages and a large inside flight in the About Peonle Mr. and Mrs. Wes Hugill and family, have moved to their new home in Kitchener.

Not included in the total is his special hospital cage, where an ailing budgie or canary is treated to a steady 90 degree temperature and "the odd shot of whisky" as a pick-me-up, Feeding, watering and caring for the birds takes a little more than two hours each night, and longer twice a week wren all of the cages are thoroughly clean PAGE SEVEN ed out. Curiously, Ray doesn't have a bird in the house. Because of his birds, he has to play psychiatrist with certain hens as soon as they've laid eggs. Thanks to the records he keeps on each one, he knows which hens will break their eggs and is able to substitute infertile eggs for her to sit on while a "good mother" gets the other eggs. For the amateur bird -fancier Ray offers only two pieces of ad- vice. "Buy the best food, "and in breeding. "let them have two clutches and then rest them so you don't kill them."
