The subject that we are going to treat has been
neglected by most of the canaricultores. The conviction of which
the control of the canaries noveles must begin when these are in
the cage of aid is the key to understand the failure of great part
of the fans, whom they blame to his units of not having the sufficient
quality. It is more than demonstrated the fact that the criadores
are the guilty of most of the circumstances that take to the degeneration
of a line of canaries of high selection, the explanation is simple,
the quality of the birds is, frequently, very over the knowledge
of its criadores.
All canaricultor that boasts
of being it must have basic and essential knowledge on the race
that cultivates or wishes to cultivate. These knowledge are not
due to limit so single to know how to raise and to prepare unit
for the aids, the fan must perfectly know the Code Song
to know how to differentiate each one from the turns that the canary
executes, to know what motivates the song and how takes place, the
influence of the phenotype (1) and the
medio.ambiente (2), to know how to make the crossings having
in account the laws of the Genetics and, mainly, to know
what it is wanted. We must draw up a goal to us, to create our own
line of song a line that will be based in that it
stops we it is our ideal song and that will be obtained with years
of work and selection of those units that they approach more by
its repertoire that ideal line to that we want to arrive.
Those basic and essential
knowledge are acquired by means of the experience and of the advice
of judges and experienced canaricultores more, than without a doubt
some they will accede tasteful to teach to us what they know. The
advice are the source of intelligence of the new criadores and will
depend on the qualification of the advisor who the nascent one has
greater or smaller success in his first years of young. Nor that
to say has the nascent one must begin its walking in the sport young
acquiring the units of greater quality than it can find and always
accompanied of his corresponding official list procuring
itself that the unit has at least eighty and seven points and lacks
any possible defect (3).
What next we are going to treat goes directed
to criadores already experienced, criadores that know perfectly
song of our National Race and that in addition applies knowledge
of the Genetics at the time of processing its crossings.
The pursuit of pichones in the voladero must
become by that they have the concepts on the very clear song of
the canary, otherwise can be reached precipitated conclusions, erroneous,
that they ruin all the efforts dedicated in the raising. What we
try is to go beyond detecting defects in the voladero that can be
listened a priori such like estridentes or rozantes
notes excessively that break natural the rythmical form
of the review of our young tenors we try to get
to decipher the directives of whom soon it will be the song already
closed and defined of the adult canary, to intuit if they
are going to prioritize notes of continuous rate (timbres) or it
notes of discontinuous rate, the voices and the tone, to find the
defects that no they are listened to not being estridentes, but
that can cause that everything a voladero spoils by not knowing
how to detect on time to the unit that began to give it. Really,
it is to try to advance us to the canary in his evolution, is not
possible know how what notes will give and how it will give them,
due to the changes that take place in the review of our
units, but to get to know if the canary is going to have a predisposition
to do a certain type of notes or others and to follow the evolution
that takes it to make a barulloso and indefinite review
to make the beautiful and harmonious song of the adult canary.
The work begins once we have
finished the time of raising. The young people will not have listened
their once separated ancestors of their mothers and located in the
prevoladero so that they are becomeed aclimated to I think hard
(canary seed). Otherwise they would copy of that canary that more
sang when doing its nuptial shutdown and we could verify like the
chickens, as of both months of age would imitate the song of that
ardent reproducer, that although would generally lose it during
the dumb one, would suppose a delay for them. Once separated last
pichones we will prepare the place that we are going to dedicate
to place our voladeros. The room or space (4) will
have to reunite certain characteristics:
- In the first place, the room will have a good ventilation and
a constant light during the diurnal hours, a light not very intense
that will sink to pichones in a semipenumbra, of this form will
have a light sufficient to eat and to review without they
go ahead too much, as well as so that they cannot be distracted
when reviewing (5).
- Secondly, it must be a room quiet at that
strong sounds do not arrive excessively and in that, mainly, the
songs of other canaries - own or other peoplis, or the degenerated
song of some adult canary are not heard -. He will be advisable
to equip to the room with a musical thread or, at least, one radio
connected to a timer that makes it work since it leaves the sun
until it is put. The radio will tune a music transmitter preferredly
and if it is of classic music mejor(6). The
radio will avoid that pichones listens to external sounds and
will make possible that the chickens of each voladero remove their
own song without copying of the units of other voladeros, of review
more hard or more advanced.
- Thirdly, we will have so many voladeros since
crossings we have done (7). The important thing
is not as much the size of the voladeros because the chickens
are distributed by brothers of father and mother. The units of
each crossing must sing of different form, to place all the chickens
in a same voladero supposes that either they copy all of first
that begin to sing [ reviewing ], or to each other remove
songs so different that when wanting to copy of others they
spoil or they remove an indetermine song. Most normal it
is than all sing equal, when copying of the unit or unit more
adelantado/s, for or or badly, exceptionally can happen independently
that some canaries remove their own song, of the one of their
companions of voladero. When we are with chickens, that by his
reduced number it is not worth the trouble to have them single,
we include them in the voladero of stepbrothers (of father or
mother) that as much by phenotype as by line of song is similar
(8). The radio will avoid that they copy between the different
voladeros and will cause that each section follows the evolution
natural agreed with its genotype and phenotype (9).
In spite of it not to have mentioned between
the mentioned characteristics, one occurs by known that the room
must have a constant temperature, or at least frees of the habitual
ascents and slopes of temperature, that can be cause of different
pathological states highly detrimental for the song of the chickens.
Once described the ideal
room we must even speak of a so important element or more. Without
a doubt some will have guessed that is the feeding of pichones.
The feeding of the song canaries must be balanced, is necessary
to have much well-taken care of nevertheless, since the mixture
that is used normally for the common canaries and due to their composition,
causes that the development hurries, which does not interest as
well to the criador and, it can create obesity states totally pernicious
for all the apparatus of phonation of the canary, when accumulating
fats that alter the good operation of the muscles that do possible
the song. The feeding that usually occurs to the canaries of song
it is composed by two types of seeds. The seeds they are the canary
seed, like basic element of the feeding of the canaries, and the
nabina, as stimulating seed of the song that exerts, as well, a
positive influence on the phonation apparatus when favoring the
expansion of the same one, with which it is smoothed song of the
canary. The most habitual proportion is of > of canary seed and
< of nabina, on this proportion each criador accommodates it pleasure
to its. Aside from the mixture of seeds some criadores enrich it
giving to its birds apple or other fruits (10).
Also it is necessary to try to have the voladeros
clean and to have the comederos and water throughs of the same form,
the water will have every day to be changed and the washed and disinfected
water throughs. This, I create, unnecessary observation, I do since
the negligence of the previous thing could be settled with the appearance
of infections in the canaries, which will affect the song. A last
warning in this sense is to avoid the dirty seeds, that is to say,
with polvillo; polvillo little penetrates in the respiratory apparatus
of the canaries causing desirable effects.
Once chicken accustoms to seeds and begins
to leave of side sponge cake, timid stammering that began
when as soon as it had the four weeks of age, begins to be with
greater clarity and is easy to find to the male young people competing
between himself. The review wins in height, but still it
will be necessary to hope several months to find out how it is going
to be the song of our units, although as of both months of age the
evolution of the review seems to accelerate itself and they
are created to listen to notes that the canary is going to give
when it closes his evolutionary cycle, the dumb one will cause that
the evolution stops until pichones finishes their first change of
pen.
In effect, he is frequent
to think that certain variations of the review of the chickens,
like cloqueos assumptions and supposed waters are
already definitive, but also he is frequent to forget that the canary,
at least, to the six months does not reach the sufficient maturity
that it allows him to clarify some notes and to begin to show to
us as is going to be its voice (11). Like the
human being, the canary also changes his voice and it must to the
same reason, the sexual evolution of the canary young people. The
review is that, a review the canary emits sounds
conditional by its instincts that as they spend the months they
are clarified and showing what will be, permmtanme the expression,
its calling card, what it is going it to differentiate from the
other canaries. Two canaries will be able to review or to
sing of the same form, taking care of the turns that do, but never
they will have the same timbre of voice, can sing a same
score but not interpret it, execute it, of equal way.
The canary in its review
takes very instinctively as reference the inherited song of
its ancestors, it does not mean that it is going to sing according
to the contributed thing by these, the final song of the canary
will be the result of the conjunction of external factors, phenotype
and song (12).
Notes:
1 Phenotype as
soon as physical appearance or morphologic characters (more well-known
like morphologic type .
2 the phenotype
is equal to the result of the influence on the genotype of the environmental
factors, I consider opportune to clarify that we analyzed the song
separately, weighing to comprise of the perceivable characters by
the senses that constitute the phenotype. When we talk about phenotype
of a song canary we do it in the sense referred in note 2, for that
reason we speak of the influence of the medio.ambiente on the
song (genetic or innate predisposition inherited of its
ancestors by the canary to shape in one melodma an indetermine but
determineable series of turns).
3 Defect as much in the song, that
it will be written down or it penalized, depending on its gravity,
in the judgment list, as defect or tares physics.
4 Each criador
must adapt to the site which it has.
5 Taken care of
with the light since there is lines of song that stops to be developed
suitably require of greater amount of the same one that others.
Fruit of defective light is exemplary of poor intensity
in their song and inclined to gangosos and
nasal turns
6 the reason to
refer us to classic music is the personal consideration, without
contempt of other types of music, of which, generally, it is adapted
to create the suitable atmosphere in which to carry out the development
of the song of our canaries.
7 Once again it
is possible to remember to the reader the importance of adapting
to the space which it has at the time of planning the young.
8 Grapevine Notes 2 and 3.
9 the radio helps
to the attainment of different songs in each department, but the
main reason for the diversity of songs is in the separation by brothers
in different voladeros. / / Grapevine notices 2 in the referring
thing to the phenotype.
10 During the
dumb one it is advisable to provide young paste to them to favor
a good one emplume, outside this period once can give to it to the
week.
11 Hay different
types from review, in attention to the greater or smaller
clarity than presents/displays for the human ear, as far as number
of possible identifiable turns to shape the future in song. There
are reviews that present/display a high degree of clearness and
other that is impossible to try to decipher, as well as intermediate
assumptions. In principle, when in a review they are possible to
be identified most of the turns with clearness, it is because the
units have copied of some adult canary. In this sense, are chickens
that have demonstrated to have a retention capacity truely amazing
of the songs of reproductive males, heard single during the young.
12 Hablamos here
of song like the assembly of inherited genes that determine it and
phenotype in the sense of morphologic type. Tingase presents/displays
the equation mentioned in the note 3 and that the song, itself,
comprises of the phenotype in strict sense: Phenotype = Environmental
Genotype + Influencia
