关于“边境金丝雀”的背景情况,人们所知甚少。有人说它是从17世纪晚期或者18世纪早期的英格兰与苏格兰背部边疆的“普通”金丝雀发展而来的。它的名字和标准是在1889年在兰厄姆被确定采用的。兰厄姆是在苏格兰和英格兰边境上的一个小镇。而官方的命名是在1890年6月5日由边境金丝雀俱乐部确定的。
边境金丝雀是一种漂亮的圆圆的体格健壮的鸟。一开始边境金丝雀曾经被称呼为“小宝石”,那是它大概有12厘米不到,今天它已经不再是以前那么小了,所以它的小宝石的名字也已经不再被人们称呼了。现在理想中的边境金丝雀体长可以达到14厘米。
通常他们的颜色是黄色,但是他们也有白色、浅黄色、绿色、肉桂色,也有可能是杂色的。作为展示用的展示鸟,任何有红色倾向的边境金丝雀将被取消资格。
There is very little known about the background of the Border Fancy Canary other than it is said to have evolved in the late 1700's or early 1800's from the 'common' canary along the borders of northern England and Scotland. The name and standards for the Border Canary were adopted in 1889 at Langholm in 1889, a town close to the border of Scotland and England, and it was officially named with establishment of the Border Fancy Canary Club on June 5, 1890.
The Border Fancy Canary is a nice round, well built bird. The original Border Canary was once called the \"Wee Gem\" with a size of about 4 1/2 inches, today it is no longer so small and this name has gone by the wayside. The ideal Border Fancy Canary today will be about about 5 1/2 inches (14 cm) long.
Their usual color is yellow, but they can also be found in white, yellow, buff, green, cinnamon, and may also be variegated or ticked. For showing, any that have red ground tendencies will be disqualified. |
