Cats among the canaries

It's normal practice to try and keep the cats away from the canaries, but earlier this month this was not the case. In fact, the Nelson Poultry, Pigeon and Cage Bird Association asked cat owners to join the canaries - but on exhibition, of course. Big entries were received for the annual show.
