PREPARATION FOR EXHIBITION by Alain Nottet


PREPARATION FOR EXHIBITION
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 about a separate youth in individual breeding cage. , Some fans have left moulting birds in Aviary other prefer the cage of steals the two systems are very good a condition for suspending a cage of exposure so that young people can meet as soon as possible with the ci, young birds must be able to enter and exit freely from the cage, this is the beginning of learning to put the birds in confidence. During moulting it is essential that young people are staying in flight cage or Aviary to their allow to strengthen the muscles of the chest but also to have a good harbour wings because apart from the functions natural and normal life as "eating and drinking" is another capital "flying."
In order to evaluate the potential of each bird he'll have separate individual breeder youth to appreciate the qualities but also the defects of our future Favorites, the constant observation of each of our subjects will allow a first yard but be careful not to go too fast because a Norwich will much more time to come to full maturity compared to some small breed known as light.
I personally happened to eliminate a Norwich, subject to which I from not much credit, I therefore released flight cage but two months later it is bird was completely transformed and this bird won the gold medal at the Liège PCBs.
Suspend a cage of exposure a each of the best subject is the most on system to no longer take the bird in hand, after a certain time they feel confident and most spend even at night.
Then the always delicate moment contain them in the cage of exposure in order to move them on a shelf and it's that began the real training.
Initially, short of a few minutes periods are amply sufficient, because many birds are terribly stressed out over time periods in a cage of exhibitions become more more frequent but also more long, a good system is to reward the bird a whenever he comes on the shelf offering him a small 'bucket' of wild seeds.
Attention however do not confuse training cage and cage stay!
Lighting problem
The months d ' exposure is necessary - it yes or no give the birds artificial lighting? Sincerely I do not know the answer! Both systems have their advantages but also disadvantages and let me explain.
In my Kennel my birds receive no artificial light source and remains so much more calm (my building enjoys good natural light, but at shows they are subjected has artificial illumination powerful enough, which has the consequence of very nervous visitors, the transition being too much, is only two or three days after the housing birds begin to subside.) Alas! It's too late the judgment is complete.
One of my friends suggested me to place a suspended fluorescent tube has my shelf of drive to get young people used to artificial lighting.
This system allows me to accustom the birds that I coach without provided disturbing the rest of my breeding.
THE VAPORIATION
Once the molt is complete I do offer more tub has my birds I prefer to use a small spray my birds are then lightly spray and this two has three times a week, I noticed that birds like to be sprayed, I always try to spray the birds late morning so the plumage is completely dry before nightfall of the night. For the brilliance of the plumage can add a bit of (feather spray) caution do not exceed the dosser recommended by manufacturer i.e. 5 ml to 300 ml mineral water
Warning, it is better to stop spraying the birds at least 5-6 days before the judgment otherwise the plumage will not have time to sufficiently tighten especially with birds at the longer plumage.
Here it is with very great attention has a multitude of small detail that it is possible to bring his birds at the top level and make good results in the exhibitions.As a high performance athlete there it also its maximum point of form, example: a Norwich which reached its best level of form in the month of October will also look great in December what seems logical, the bird is not a machine that can expose every week to make his "little Championship.
Participate in three exhibitions on the year is more than enough for a Norwich be confront problems molting or poor results during the breeding season.
EXHIBITION CAGE
A good present Norwich has exposure in a cage in poor condition, will do that penalized the bird, it is very important to monitor the condition of these before contest period begins!
- check the condition of the storefront!
- check the fixing of the poles!
- Check if the color is perfect!
- Do not forget that for green color, there are a number of manufacturing, it is therefore not repainting the inside of their 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 advantages to bring sports fullness and the realization to the heights.
