Many thanks for completing and returning your form in previous years. 

The information you sent us last year was extremely helpful as it continues to add to records about the status of captive Galliformes in the UK, consequently allowing us to determine what necessary action might be needed and provide recommendations to breeders about stock levels. We would really like your help again this year to record the birds that were in your collection on 31 August 2018.

You can post or email the results back to me. Or if you don’t want to use the form, simply put the information in an email and send it to me at nigel.hester@adive.co.uk

This information will then be anonymously combined with results from other breeders and we will be able to determine the trends of different species in collections in the UK and across Europe. Without this information the European Conservation Breeding Group cannot properly measure the status of captive birds and provide advice for their conservation. Several examples in WPA Annual Reviews show that this information is essential for managing captive populations across Europe.
