Is always issue of feather   of Claudius Capozzi

One of the main causes of degeneration in a stock of gloster e' the insufficient attention in the voice of the relative standard to the piumaggio.

 It cites: < < Perfectly smooth, adherent and shining that delineates clearly the contours are seen from the profile high that. The pens constitute the most serious defect of the cheeks turned towards the high that determine the favoriti.. Wings always sluices very adherent capacities to the body without to compress the piumaggio > >.

 Perhaps 15 points are previewed, seem little, but a long piumaggio, influencing the ransom (20 p.) ripercuoter?egativamente on the same one, thus as an example, a sbuffato piumaggio dar?na good image of the body not influencing also therefore this other voice (20 p.) equally important. Also the tail (5 p.) ?ostituita from the piumaggio, and finally the crown and the head will have the just dimension and shape based on the type of piume of which always 20 p. are constituted ().

  The understanding of the important piumaggio e' pero' as well as how much complicating.

 The argument e' much immense one in how much demands is an analysis on the anatomy of the piuma, is on the understanding of the colors, nonche' of their genetics.

 We leave in the first place with saying that for pens we mean those of the wings (said remiganti and copritrici) and those of the tail (said helmsman). The remiganti are distinguished in: primary and secondary, while the copritrici are distinguished in: large small, averages and.

 A piuma e' constituted from a scapo that it has its root in the skin, while the part knot that fuoriesce, e' said calamus. The called advanced part e' rachide and on it we find a double quantity vessillo constituted from beards, barbules and uncini. In the pens, these uncini are much numerous in how much hold compact the pen in order to place resistance to the air during the flight. These uncini in the piume are a lot reduced, above all to the base, and e' such lack to determine a less compact piumaggio piu' or. A lot probably in some colors these uncini are in reduced number and just this reduction that alloy a color with the type of piumaggio.

 The first great distinction that we make regards the category, than it is divided in intense and in brinato (mosaic we do not consider it perche' in the gloster I have still not seen any, even if a my friend is striving itself in merit...).

 The intense one has a piuma colored until the apex, it is introduced hard and short regarding the brinata one and has one thin consistency piu'. In opposition we have the brinato piumaggio, it does not introduce a complete coloration, and seems that the subjects are spotted with one frost on the back. Piuma e' of soft type and it it confers to the canary a voluminoso aspect piu'. This e' the reason for which often, above all in past, brinati are preferred connections between.

 These types of canaries are very distinguibili between they in the razze in which such subdivision important voice in the scale represents one values of the card of judgment to the fine ones espositi to you. In the gloster not e' obviously cosi, and and for this reason that we alleviate many canaries of intermediate type, above all in the intense ones. Indeed, our intense ones, above all those that win to the extensions are with a long piumaggio, the color of the piuma not e' of the all extended one until the apex, in fact analyzing very they give the subjects close looks at that they have of the brinature on the back. This defect beyond to deriving from the selection, (indeed we prefer intense to piuma long) derives above all from the brinato type of that we alleviate and we use: it e' much poor of color a lot that many females that we are usual to call greens, a stranger to our world would define them of the canaries browns, and some, with little natural light of contour, seem of the slate. About the colors pero' we will speak ahead piu'.

 An other thing that I would want to emphasize e' that a brinato subject, e' tendentially a calm canary piu', to times nearly static, the males enters in shape with piu' delay, but often they are of the premurosi fathers piu'. Of other song the intense ones are piu' nervous, they are churned continually from a posatoio to the other and this they movement renders them in the aspect piu poor of body regarding the brinati ones. Dominant the intense color e' regarding the brinato one, and not e' lethal if it comes coupled in purity; in fact we can have of the intense ones with the double factor. To such purpose e' to notice a phenomenon that finds in coupling two intense ones: if we couple them between they and introduce the same defect, and cioe' the brinatura on the back, this last one instead evidencing itself mainly in the descendancys stretches to disappear, cio' happens perche' the which had defect e' to piuma a not much short one, than with this type of connection it is reduced in the prole, and the color catches up the apex. Of other song the same phenomenon is found if we couple between brinati they two to piuma short, will see that with the time piu' the always long piumaggi verrano. Here the importance in always dosing the intense ones with the brinati ones.

 The type of canary e' given to us from the design; It e' constituted from the striature on the back and the flanks, from the present vergature in the shoulders and from the marcature of the tail and wings. These said canaries melanici introduce of the pigments that they directly synthetize from the skin. They call eumelenine, and feomelanine. The combination of these elements us from the type of design.

 We leave from the green. It e' the ancestral color, must have a color a lot shining, alive and not smorto. In the canaries of green race; tawny and the its traces are passings. Today canaries black to yellow bottom call themselves, before instead erono call to you nerobruni. To glosteristi we, obviously, the presence piu' or than less tawny does not interest to us from a espositivo point of view. In the green whose color of given bottom e' from the yellow many gradazioni are present, but the brown to which I made reference before e' worse. When the canaries show this type of green, the reasons can be two: or the piuma e' too much long much not to color itself until the apex, or the yellow color in its ancestral celebrations lacks, obviously speaks about an alive yellow.

 In the greens, e' important to observe the present striature on the back. Based on theirs grossolanita' we can gia' understand the type of piumaggio of which the equipped canary e', but above all we would have lend much attention to the fact that the striature are parallels between they. In fact cio' puo' to be gia' piumaggio index very held from the canary and when it is not introduced thus, the subject it could have a mantellina on the back, or coupled to a partner with the same defect, can be born subject with the mantellina that e' characteristic of the crest and not of the gloster, beyond, obviously, not to be gradevole in the vision of with of the canary.

 In intense the thin striature they are a lot piu', while those of the flanks, are mainly present in the females. Important for a good piumaggio e' that the striature must leave from the head and that they are very distinguibili on the same one. In those canaries marroni. they seem to get confused with the bottom color, nearly to disappear of all.

 For the cinammon, in England one agrees is the tawny color that the isabella, we mean alone the tawny one, than as the green belongs to the so-called the canaries oxidizes to you, to difference of the diluted ones that they comprise between the other the agate and the isabella.

 The famous oxidation mainly in the greens, that they introduce the spout and dark legs, above all if raises you to the open in how much the direct exposure of the solar beams exalts the black one of the same ones. The subjects that introduce greater oxidation, have of usual a hard piumaggio piu', while subject poor of color often much carnicine introduces legs. Obviously it goes lend attention to that they are the greater part of the gloster present, and cioe' the pezzati ones that they introduce always legs nearly carnicine, or in the best one of the hypotheses they have also pezzate legs, but in this case the oxidation lack not e' a defect, simply perche' prevails the lipocromica part of the color.

 Tawny e' perhaps the first appeared mutation that e' in the canaries, with regard to e' spoken gia' in a treaty about year 1700.

 Tawny e' a tied recessiva mutation to the sex, therefore we will not never have females carriers of cinammon. In it we notice that the black eumelanina comes replaced from that tawny one and the canary assumes a warm color piu' and a soft piumaggio piu' regarding the green. The rule wants that it does not have to couple the cinammon between of they, at least in order piu' of a generation perche' the factor cinammon does not have enables it to reduce the volume of the head, but it has also the pregio., for glosteristi we, to reduce the ransom... What pero' e' true the beautiful advantage of cinammon e' the sericita' that it acquires the piumaggio...

 A good ones cinammon has a piumaggio very attacked to the body, soft, and if e' equipped of a good lipocromica charge, full of color... perche' these subjects they come here often it uses you in order to improve the piumaggio in the stock of canaries that we have to disposition. The great error piu' that we can make pero' e' to think that with a good ones cinammon we resolve all the problems legacies to the piumaggio. The same error comes too much made also from who having long piumaggi and blows thinks to us to resolve all with good an intense one... in these cases, all cio' that we will have, sara' only of ugly cinammon or the bearers of cinammon, or ugly intense. The piumaggio is improved alone through oculati connections, and in the time they are only looked at turns out to you.

 I prefer to couple the cinammon with of the pezzati yellows, the cinammon he gives the compactness to the piumaggio while the yellows confer a good one voluminosita', but above all gives to color and light to the cinammon. When the cinammon they are couples to you to the greens, famous in the tawny one of the characteristic verdognole spots, not beautiful to look at, while in the greens, famous a strong pollution of tawny. Obviously if the sporadic connection e' sara' difficult to notice these defects in the color, while if repeated sara' mainly visible.

 The color agate e' one of the last NATO, but beautiful gloster gia' is looked at, even if not always we are near the standards of excellence. The main reason e' which had to the particular type of piumaggio of the agate, in kind of short type. Also the agate has a recessivo behavior legacy to the sex like the tawny one, but with the exception of this last one it belongs to the kind of the diluted ones. The canary introduces itself with a reduction of the tawny one, that it exalts the black one. The design also it endures of the differences regarding the black one, in fact the thin striature are a lot piu', but above all they do not have the carattestica shape to railroad, but it comes defined to chicchi of rice, even if pero' in the gloster, coming it couples to you with the greens, have lost this they characteristic. The clear legs and spout are a lot piu', nearly carnicine. In with the canary it seems to have the color of bottom tending to grigio.L' isabella not e' a true and own mutation but a superimposition between two colors thanks to a genetics law that is called femoneno of the crossing-over. With the English term crossing-over (intercrossed superimposition) describes the exchange of segments between cromatidi of chromosomes accredits during the sinapsi in the profase of the meiosi. In this way the chromosomes sons introduce a various resorption of the hereditary patrimony (Zanichelli). The isabella it is born just from the superimposition of the tawny one with the agate, as well as that some define it like a tawny one diluted. Siccome is born from the union of the colors said over between which the agate, still little diffuse, of decent subjects isabella, if of it little see still a lot; In extension exchange of it I have seen one to the last Italian championship of Piacenza, but the breeder sold it like cinammon not being itself shrewed who be a matter itself of a isabella. The rule base wants that canaries do not have themselves to be never coupled oxidize to you with those diluted, cio' in order not to overlap those that are the distinguished characteristics of the colors and possession of the intermediate types, but obviously for glosteristi we the fact that the legs are piu' or less oxidized or the stiature are piu' loaded with tawny or less, does not have to import piu' a lot.

 All these types of canaries obviously also are interested from the apigmentata so-called cartegoria, than like it says the name do not synthetize the yellow pigment, the bottom of the yellow color not e' piu' but white man, and the canaries come call to you: slate for the greens to deep white man, and silver the others. The tawny silver comes called fawn in England, and obviously also in Italy hour comes often cited thus.

 The slate e' a color a lot important perche' these canaries, if very it selects to you, must have piuma a a lot hard, to all advantage of that they could be the problems legacies also to pathologies of the piumaggio, speaks obviously about the lumps. The color slate thus like the white man, e' genetically dominant, but to difference of the factor forelock and the intense category, e' a lethal factor, therefore we will not never have a double factor white man or slate. In the color canaries it still exists also varieta' recessiva but in the canaries of shape and the position of old type this varieta' e' be introduced. and all adding better thus!

 Fawn, in theory, if the selection has followed the just road, being fruit of the line of the slate that they must have a piuma of hard type, and of the cinammon that instead they must have a piuma soft, could be with subjects that conciliate an optimal one qualit? intermediate of piumaggio. obviously if the exceptional departure not e', sara' the difficultly good result.

 Nella category lipocromici goddesses obviously we find is the yellows that the white men, would be also ivory, but of gloster thus still not if they see some at least for the next years. These colors are much beautiful and striking and when it comes exposed to a white man with the forelock slate, collect always many looks of admiration, even if from a technical point of view pero' it must say that difficultly these colors can compete with the melanici over mention to you. This perche' the lipocromici have an abundant piumaggio that in gets worse subjects sfocia in those ugly ones sbuffi that a lot ruins the silhouette of the body and the reason could be one smaller quantita' of uncini in the barbules, but of the microscopical analyses my supposizioni could only clear these... Moreover for effect of the abundance of piumaggio it gives an impression of greater ransom. I have obtained good I turn out to you in coupling subject hard slate to piuma with yellow subjects with piumaggio of medium type (in order meaning not those sbuffati to us, to discard absolutely). Thus making I have obtained of the beautiful white men, with piumaggi many bonds. Draft however of pezzati, the whose extension of the pezzature varied based on the fortune of the breeder. a my friend, former breeder of gloster, from this connection has obtained also of the lipocromici unicolori. but one said that if this breeder coupled two consort between they, they would be been born all crown of qualita' excellent!

 To part the glosteristi jokes we, even if fascinate to you from the many colors, cannot only select the gloster for this. What it must interest are the relati to you piumaggi, conditions to you is from the colors but above all from the connections that have them it generates to you. Pezzato giallo/verde even if in the aspect could be with a lipocromica predominanza, in realta', like type of piumaggio, could close be piu' to a green and viceversa. Therefore we do not have to be stopped to the visual aspect of the color but to analyze piu' deeply the type of piumaggio, also from a genetic point of view of the ancestral celebrations, as an example a canary that comes from a tawny one, dar?iu' sericit?l piumaggio in the descendancys etc. This e' the true secret that every breeder acquires with the time. The consistency del type of piumaggio we state it from many elements, and nobody between these e' piu' important degli others, but they give it sum of all cio' we estimate the subject piumaggio del that we have dinanzi. First we have the genetic aspect of the ancestral celebrations, then that tactile every subject would go taken and touched with the fingers the piumaggio of the abdomen, we can gia' understand the fineness and setosita' of the piumaggio, then we can watch the striature, is on the head that on the back, and those of the flanks, we can notice if it introduces sbuffi of piumaggio is lateral is those of the face, the so-called the favorites, finally can estimate loads lipocromica with the subject. To the end of these appraisals obviously we will find that between the two types of opposite piumaggi piu' that can exist, we will notice a infinita' of intermediate types, and e' just this large variabilita' and their combination genic that fara' of every breeding a world to se'. you salute, and eye to the pen.
