On this day we made two visits in and around Lancaster to individuals who share space with animals

colin gale invited us into his home – a modestly sized, mid-terraced house in Lancaster which he shares with exotic birds. Parakeets,  parrotlets,  finches, tropical starlings, amongst others, occupy the stacks of cages lining the walls of every room (excepting the bathroom). In other aquariums and cages he also plays host to numerous tropical fishes, geckos and poisonous dart frogs
