比利时金丝雀是最老品种的金丝雀。弗莱米希花了一个世纪的时间,才从原来的18世纪荷兰金丝雀中培育出这种小鸟。虽然金丝雀发展至今有各种各样的颜色,但是据报道这是第一种在身体大小和形状绝对不同于之前品种的金丝雀品种,然后这种品种被广泛用于开发其他品种的金丝雀,包括褶边、苏格兰幻像、兰克夏、约克夏等金丝雀品种。
在早期历史上它是一种很流行的鸟,1800年代O组织在比利时致力于这种鸟研究,后来它在英国备受推崇,在19世纪甚至于有一个专业协会在美国致力于开发这种鸟。然而随着两次世界大战的到来,比利时金丝雀的普及收到了严重的抑制,几乎濒临灭绝。
比利时金丝雀是为了它的类型、体型以及驼峰而培育出来的品种,因此被称为“姿态鸟”(可能中国称为形体鸟)。这是一种身形修长的鸟,经过学习它可以以一种弓背且高踞栖木的姿态站立。它的背和尾巴是直线的且垂直于栖枝。它的头很小,脖子又细又长,肩膀又宽又高,从背部看它的身体呈一个三角形的形状。它的平均长度将达到月17厘米。它的羽毛应该整齐光洁,我们可以看到的他们的颜色有浅黄色、绿色、白色和黄色。用作展示的展示鸟,鸟的羽毛中不能有红丝。
The Belgian Canary is one of the oldest canary breeds. It took the Flemish a century to develop it from the Old Dutch Canary of the eighteenth century. Though there were canaries developed in various color varieties, this was reportedly the first canary breed absolutely distinct from its predecessors in body size and shape. It was then extensively used to develop other breeds including the frills, the Scotch Fancy, the Lancashire, and the Yorkshire canaries.
In its earlier history it was a popular bird. Oorganizations were devoted to it in Belgium in the 1800's, later it was highly prized by fanciers in Britian, and even a specialist society was devoted to it in the United States in the middle of the 19th century. However, the Belgian Canary's popularity was severely arrested with the advent of two world wars, bringing it very close to extinction.
The Belgian Fancy Canary is bred for its type, body and hump, and is known as a \"bird of position\". It is a long thin bird trained to stand in a hunched over perched position, its back and tail being straight and perpendicular to the perch. It has a small head and a slender neck, broad high shoulders, and when seen from the back its body forms a triangular shape. It will reach an average length of about 6 3/4 inches (17 cm).The feathers should be neat and smooth, and they can be found in colors of buff, green, white, and yellow. For showing, this bird should have no red factor in its feathers. |
