The Preparation To The Exhibitions by Alain Nottet


THE PREPARATION TO THE EXHIBITIONS

At the beginning of the month of September molt coming to an end, at least for the youth of the first brood, so it's time to think á separated young people in individual rearing cage. , Some fans have left moulting birds Aviary others prefer the cage to fly two systems are very good condition to suspend a cage of exposure so young people can get to know as soon as possible with the above, the young birds must be able to enter and leave freely of the cage, this is the beginning of learning to put the birds in confidence. During moulting it is essential that young birds stay in flight cage or Aviary in order to enable their to strengthen chest muscles but also to have a good harbour wings because outside functions natural and normal life as "drink and eat" is another capital "fly".

To evaluate the potential of each bird will have to separate the individual breeder youth in order to appreciate the qualities but also the defects of our future Favorites, the constant observation of each of our subjects will make a first yard but be careful not to go too fast because a Norwich will much more time to come â its full maturity to some small race known as light.

He personally arrived me to eliminate a Norwich, subject to which I attachai not much credit, I had therefore given flight cage but two months later it is bird was completely metamorphosed and this bird won the gold medal at the liège PCBs.

Suspend a cage of exposure â each of the best subject is more on system to no longer take the bird in hand, after a certain time they feel confident and most spend even at night.

Then comes the always delicate moment contain them in the cage of exposure in order to move them on a shelf and it is the that begins the real training.

Initially, short of a few minutes are amply sufficient, because many birds are terribly stressed before the time periods in a cage of exhibitions become more more frequent but also more and more long, rewarding the bird â whenever it comes on the shelf offering him a small wild seed "bucket" is a good system.

Attention however not confuse training cage and cage of stay!

Problem of lighting

During the months d ' exhibition to be - it yes or no give bird an artificial lighting? Well honestly I do not know the answer! Both systems have their advantages but also disadvantages, and I will explain.

In my breeding my birds receive no artificial light source and is thus much more quiet (my building enjoys a good natural light, but at the shows they are subjected has artificial lighting powerful enough, as a consequence of the very nervous superpowers, the transition being much too large, it is only two or three days after the housing that the birds begin â to calm down.) Alas! It is too late the judgment is complete.

One of my friends suggested I place a suspended fluorescent tube has my shelf of training to get young people to artificial lighting.

This system allows me to get the birds that I cause not to disturb the rest of my livestock.

THE VAPORIATION

Once that molt is complete I offers more bath á my birds I prefer to use a small spray my birds are then spray lightly and this two is three times a week I have found that birds like to be sprayed, I always try to spray late morning bird plumage will be completely dry before the dark. The plumage brightness can add a (plume spray) little attention not to exceed the folder recommended by the manufacturer i.e. 5 ml to 300 ml mineral water

It is preferable to stop spraying birds at least 5 a 6 days before the judgment otherwise the plumage will not tighten enough time especially with birds longer feathers.

Here it is with very great attention â € a multitude of small detail that it is possible to bring its birds at the top level and make good results in the exhibitions.As an athlete of high level he has him also his maximum point of form, example: a Norwich at its best level of form in October will most also look in December which seems logical, the bird is not a machine that can expose each week to make his "Little League".

Participate in three exhibitions on the year is more than enough for a Norwich be confront á problems molting or poor results during the breeding season.

CAGE OF EXPOSURE

A good presented Norwich exposure in a cage in poor condition, will do that penalized the bird, it is very important to control the State of these until the contest period starts!

- check the status of the storefront!

- control the fixation of the perch!

- Check if the colour is impeccable!

- Do not forget that for the green color, there are a number of manufacturing, it is therefore not repainting the Interior of its cages with anything!

CONCLUSIONS

Thus understood, thus practised, training becomes a routine that helps enormously to the real test that is less harsh because the bird is more or less accustomed.

Health and training are the two main assets to bring the sport fullness and the realization to the heights.
