Anticipating brooding

The need to anticipate the brooding, is often anxious to see birth weds first time decided by nature.

Another reason is mainly for those who participate in the exhibitions and the players have already grown and changed regularly, in order to be in prime shape for exhibitions.

My choice to anticipate is dictated by practical needs and is linked to temperatures that raise on the verandah, especially for the last brooding become too high, creating many problems for mothers and nestling.

Certainly not advance much trying to find the right balance between the natural time (early training couples around 15-19 March) and most appropriate for temperatures from mid May generally rose too quickly.

To get brooding early, in addition to factor moisture and temperature, we must also consider the photoperiod.

For photoperiod means the number of hours of light to which they are exposed canaries.

To get in the canaries must gradually increase the hours of light up to 14-15 hours per day.

Today there are marketing systems for the management of lights, not always affordable to all.

I suggest instead a system a little craft but certainly work.

Materials needed:

3 neon lamps (two lamps aquarium referred to a spectrum ultraviolet and infrared spectrum to a more normal a neon)

2 bulbs to glow a sixty and a fifteen watts

Multitimer or individual timer

Proceedings

The first ignition lamp 15 followed after a few minutes (by3 to 5) by 60. After another 3 minutes, the ultraviolet, infrared and after 3 minutes neon normal.   On the third neon turn off incandescent lamps. To move inversely sunset.

These lamps, will be used for local mid-sized to small local instead, choose low-wattage lamps or decrease the point Maybe choosing lamps full solar spectrum. Attenzione: non bisogna utilizzare una sola lampada al neon per evitare l’effetto stroboscopico che la frequenza del gas, provoca alla vista dei canarini, effetto che si compensa con 2 o piu’ lampade.

Warning: we must not use a single lamp neon to avoid the strobe effect that the frequency of gas, causing the sight of canaries, which compensates effect with 2 or more lamps.
