Softbills & Seedeaters

As a private breeder of small Softbills and Parakeets, Jonathan Stephenson occasionally has spare captive-bred birds to exchange with other aviculturalists in the United Kingdom and Europe. The foreign softbills in his aviaries include Zosterops, Honeycreepers, Bulbuls, Yuhinas, Flycatchers, Mesias, Bee Eaters and Bluebirds. He is a member of The Parrot Society, The Avicultural Society, Foreign Softbill Society UK and The Waxbill Finch Society.
