Sesame seeds and their benefits for the breeding season!

 Sesame seeds and their benefits for the breeding      season!


  

Sesame seeds are tiny, flat oval seeds with a nutty taste and a delicate, almost invisible crunch. They come in a host of different colors, depending upon the variety, including white, yellow, black and red. Sesame seeds are highly valued for their high content of sesame oil, an oil that is very resistant to rancidity. Sesame seeds are the main ingredients in both tahini and the Middle Eastern sweet treat, halvah. Not only are sesame seeds an excellent source of copper and a very good source of manganese, but they are also a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc, molybdenum, selenium, and dietary fiber. In addition to these important nutrients, sesame seeds contain two unique substances: sesamin and sesamolin. Both of these substances belong to a group of special beneficial fibers called lignans, and have been shown to have a cholesterol-lowering effect in humans, and to prevent high blood pressure and increase vitamin E supplies in animals. Sesamin has also been found to protect the liver from oxidative damage. There is a little bit of controversy about sesame seeds and calcium, because there is a substantial difference between the calcium content of hulled versus unhulled sesame seeds. When the hulls remain on the seeds, one tablespoon of sesame seeds will contains about 88 milligrams of calcium. When the hulls are removed, this same tablespoon will contain about 37 milligrams (about 60% less). Whether purchasing sesame seeds in bulk or in a packaged container, make sure there is no evidence of moisture. Additionally, since they have a high oil content and can become rancid, smell those in bulk bins to ensure that they smell fresh. Unhulled sesame seeds can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place. Once the seeds are hulled, they are more prone to rancidity, so they should then be stored in the refrigerator or freezer .

Extract of Cage & Aviary Birds, translation and adaptation of Ghislaine LEJEUNE, with the pleasant authorization of the B.P.C. the BRABANT (Belgium).

Extract of Cage & Aviary Birds, translation and adaptation of Ghislaine LEJEUNE, with the pleasant authorization of the B.P.C. the BRABANT (Belgium).

Harry Dix held and raised Norwich during nearly 60 years. Here, he tells us how he manages his stock.

Aside from the 6 years spent on board the "HMS Cumberland" during the Second World War, I have raised Norwich since 1937. When I began, I also raised some hybrids but I quickly realized that Norwich represented a greater challenge to take up and I decided to devote myself only to them.  I was always fascinated by the type of the Norwich, which can be summarized in a word: COBBYNESS (harmonious stoutness).  With the wire of time, I found that it was quite difficult to produce birds of high quality and I think that those who succeed in raising two to three specimens off line during its existence worked well!

Several years ago, I held carrier pigeons.  My current room is pigeon reconverted: a part of my material went up at the time of my beginnings, such as the supports of square breeding boxes out of wood with their perforated zinc funds. I still use them because they are practical for birds of the size of Norwich. They are enough roomy to shelter the young in full growth. Other very useful accessories are the racks in wire in which one can deposit materials of nesting by hanging them to the fronts cages, as well as the plastic ends which are adjusted with the perches to prevent them from turning at the times of the matings. 

With regard to the general management of my breeding, I always paid a detailed attention to the females because they are the "gold dust" of my stock. I start to bring my birds in condition as of December. At this time, the females are placed in a large birdcage and the males (by groups of three) in double cages of breeding. I seldom use illumination and heating in my room because I prefer that the birds arrive in condition of breeding most naturally possible. Their basic feed is composed of a mixture for Canaris of high quality, accompanied by egg food distributed once per week. This one is increased to twice the week as from February, and at several times per day as soon as the young are in the nests. This food is prepared starting from Rusk, some condition seed, soaked shuttle, the whole being mixed with two or three hard cooked eggs. During the winter, when the females take exercise in the birdcages, it is important to supervise the growth of the plumage which surrounds the cesspool.  If it becomes excessive, it should be shortened. This phenomenon often emerges when the winters are rigorous. However, when the breeding arrives, I cut the excessive feathers around the cesspools of all my birds, males and females and I take care that the nails are cut short.  From January, I plan the couplings on paper in order to know which I will link in April. I believe that that is not worth the sorrow to couple before April because Norwich arrive in condition of breeding more tardily than the varieties of smaller size. In April, the weather is usually better, the days are longer and complementary food such as pimpernel or the dandelion is then available. If you take an earlier departure, the results can be disastrous and your whole season can be ruined. I couple always intensive X schimmel and the subjects with "hard feather" with those with "soft feather" to maintain a high level of quality of the plumage in the whole of my breeding. The color must be well taken into account because I believe that the best results are obtained only when one uses green or mixed birds as bases. The sign of "green blood" can be detected in the lipochrome by blowing on the plumage of the stomach, seeking to see a prime coat more marked than one seldom finds in the young resulting from lipochrome X lipochrome. According to my experiment, Norwich which was high with an aim of a "natural" color lends better to being coloured artificially. In the past, I was accustomed to mixing Spanish red pepper with pâté with egg but during last years, the appearance of Carophyl Rouge facilitated the things and gives to my birds this small basic bit of additional color which draws the attention of the judges.

I try to expose a maximum of time to the local exhibitions, particularly with those organized by SOLENT CBS, CHICHESTER CBS, WORTHING CBS and BRIGHTON & HOVE CBA. Unfortunately, in much of exhibitions on the southern coast, the section allotted to Norwich was only slightly constant these last years, although there are now signs of improvement. If I can encourage more amateurs to adopt Norwich in the area, I would be really happy.

Feather Quality by Joseph Schifflers

QUALITE   OF   PLUMAGE

At the time of I have had the National" opportunity, to converse an amateur with who asked me to compose an article on the quality the plumage.
Usually, I approach that subject with the white but that time I will try to approach the problem under different angles.
En termes généraux, il y a deux types différents de plumages, l'un est doux et généralement large et arrondi dans sa forme, l'autre est plus dur et plus pointu et étroit dans sa forme.
This could be usually, falling, off respectively, in the categories colors the schimmel and intensifier, but always that is not the case. There has okay about fluffy downy, and conversely, schimmels a good deal of intensifiers, very tighten.
The color's depth follows usually the same formula. Indeed they go the hand in the hand, it is as good as the fluffiest of the schimmels lack often color, whereas intensifiers at very compact real plumage, have a depth in the color. This is a general and the rules rule once it have been to are transgressed.
For the artifact that drill, admit 6 categories orderly plumages from the beginning of a feather liked the soft until the very hard. That the like graduating are represented in the artwork infra: soft

Birds that fall off in the extreme categories usually 1 and 6 are difficult well matching. The bird at soft plumage (view 1) apparait usually ample, big, loud, but often, the size her body slim remainder.
The burden feathers gives distorts an impression.
The bird that has a very hard and narrow long and narrow plumage appears. He was decorating small possession also. these birds will have a lack, since at the grade level the GUY.
He is the possible shape and the feathers' character however, that hide a good shape a body. If you are fortunate, you can mate 1 with 6 and produce good youngs in feathers. But attention if you employ these ones the season breeding following, descended youngs could be being a return line the plumage their ascendants (big father - Big mom).
These write off extreme and examples is preferable of herself focus on the development a breeding plumages at similar qualities.
That goal affects, almost is filled out III once the necessity study the quality a plumage These qualities herself enroll in the genetic.
That material call all the hereditary relative factors at our canaries, only that is the shape, the color's, the presentation, etcetera, depth,,
The plumage's flawlessness will fall off usually in the categories 3 and 4, but, birds whose the quality plumage falls off in the categories 2 and 5 valent to are kept, about autant as they do not have other obvious errors.
In the categories 3 and 4, the coarseness the plumage a category 6 will be avoided as good as the sweetness a column 1. We will have a bird since whose the outline, the silhouette, the profile, will be smooth with a relative stiffness and sweetness.
The good schimmels will fall off usually in the block 3 and good the intensifiers in the category 4, but that is not and he cans always the case to have laps, imbrications, to it in them second directions. By example, a schimmel, with a hard plumage can fall off in the category 4. Consequently stringently of will the point of view the quality plumage, mate that bird be valid at schimmel, another probably the block 3 or block 2. The mate at an intensifier a block 5 or 6 will result almost by all means at hard feathers at the youngs, but he can be correct about the mate at an intensifier of his own gathers 4.
Grade well only that theory is simply relative about the quality the plumage coupled with the color. In every canary, the GUY ace criterion and the major requirement almost.
That theory in connection at the quality the plumage herself applies likewise at the colors "no cinnamon (green and white) normals,", All these colors can be divided in and intensifiers and schimmels, can also are divided in gather several of quality plumage.
If the illustrated system is employed, he is preferable at times resort at doubles or the schimmel at doubles the intensifier blocks 2 at 5, whereas employing a partner opposite color is usual.
Since years, the rule has been mating intensifier with schimmel and vice poured out, and that rule has been applied about the Greens and Cinnamons as good as yellow qu'aux.
The Whites have been processed however, newly. He exists a theory that recommends to get the good color at that the Whites, mate the White is necessary with a partner with a fewer about color possible depth. Is employed that the White is schimmel or intensifier a schimmel logically,, Indeed, alone youngs, schimmels whom half are produced, well Whites half Yellows. This results in two factors. Foremost, the feathers these youngs become a coarse actually bad, and second, when yellow) is mated normal schimmel, at a normal intensifier, the descended youngs run depth color.
Of that fact one imagined saying that a theory all the descended birds of White about their ancestresses would run color. In another words, the white had had an effect negative on the color.
My belief is the white plumage that has nothing to do with a I'autre color, it is the constant the schimmel that has dual employment creates the problem.

INHERITANCE


INHERITANCE
Mendel in his writings suggests that if we paired a large and a small bird together in the hope of getting a medium size bird, we would get some large birds and some small birds, but never medium birds, and this basic premise is true.
However, with canaries we are dealing with a more complex situation than Mendel’s experiments with Pea plants.
For instance, if we were to pair two large canaries together – one with a large body and a short tail, and the other with a small body with a long tail. Both birds could be the same physical length. Resulting from this you could expect some very large birds with large bodies and long tails; but also some that would have the small body and short tail. The remainder would be similar to the mother or farther.
It is still the same basic inheritance rule, but applied to different parts of the bird’s make-up. Just considering the body; all the babies would have either a small body or a large body – just never a medium body.
This is why when pairing birds you look for a bird that is strong in the area that the partner may be lacking.

The Moult and Color Feeding By Chris Goodall


The Moult and Colour Feeding
by Chris Goodall

After my youngsters are weaned off, they remain in the breeding cages until they are six weeks old. During this time they are fed on the food they were reared on, namely egg food and soak seed. At this time they will drink copious amounts of water and care should be taken to ensure fresh supplies are always available.
At six weeks of age they are transferred to a large aviary, where they will remain until the moult is nearly completed. At this stage the youngsters are introduced to dry food. Crushed hemp, rape and pinhead oatmeal are given in addition to the egg food and soaked seed. Canary seed is added to the diet a weak later.
It is vital during the moult to provide a diet that will assist your canaries to produce the quality of feather desired. The selective pairing of the parents will determine 3/4 of the feather quality. A balanced diet, rich in protein, to supply essential amino acids is necessary to produce the finish article. Sprouted seed, hard boiled egg and sunflower hearts are high in amino acids. Canary seed, the stable diet is more valuable at this time of the year than any other as it contains silicon in the brown coating of the seed, and enters the blood stream in small amounts to help in feather making.
Extra vitamins can be added either, as I do, by, using commercial products at the recommended dose or by giving a natural source such as dandelions or spinach. Oily seeds such as nyger, hemp, maw and linseed can be added to the diet in small quantities. These will provide the extra oil that is necessary for feather luster.
First round youngsters will start to moult at 8 to 10 weeks old, second round youngsters at a slightly younger age. The new feathers replace the old in a definite pattern, beginning along the breast and back, finishing with the neck and head.
The moulting process with the breeding birds is controlled by hormones. Because of their different hormones the cock bird will lose his sex drive and song, and generally start moulting before the hen. A few tips that will aid a successful moult are, give a bath or spray on warm days, this is most beneficial in assisting the growth and condition of new feathers. Keep birds in draught free quarters. This is a requirement throughout the year, but more so during the moult as this can stop the moulting process altogether. We say they are stuck in the moult and will be extremely unwell. If this happens try to keep the bird warm, add a pinch of Flowers of Sulphur to the soft food, and as a tonic Syrup of Buckthorn administered at the rate of one drop to the ounce (30mls) of drinking water. This should get the moult started again. Finally although the birds need plenty of fresh air and good light it is advisable to moult the birds out of direct sun. The object is to moult the birds with good even colour and we all know what the bleaching effect the sun could cause. Which brings us on to colour feeding. Norwich Canaries have been colour fed for showing since the 1880’s. At first the hot Natal pepper was used, and then it became the custom to used prepared cayenne pepper from the Capsicum plant. This method, which in my case, involved mixing four parts egg food to one part pepper with a little olive oil to infuse the pepper into the egg food. I used this until Canthaxantin took over in the early 1960’s.
I can remember the first time I saw a Norwich at a show fed with this new product. It was at Kings Lynn C.B.S., approximately in 1963 and the bird belonged to Dr. Smither of Peterborough. The birds were very patchy and a burnt rusty colour, because the colouring agent had been giving to strong and not at regular feeds. This is still seen at shows today as fanciers try to colour feed for the first time. It usually takes a couple of years to get the quantities right.
The old method of cayenne pepper can still be used today, but most breeders will be using a product sold under the brand name Carophyll Red. This is a water soluble product and can either be used in food or water. I use both methods and I will endeaver to describe the way I colour feed my birds.
Throughout the moulting season, which usually starts with the first cock bird dropping feathers about the third week in June, till the end of December for are colour fed on a three day rotating sequence. The first day they receive the Carophyll in the water. The reason I stated in the last paragraph. “I will endeavor to describe” is because it is difficult to give exact quantities as most people have a different measuring utensil. I use a 2 2-ml. spoon that comes with Vydex Products, and a level spoonful of Carophyll Red is mixed with 1.5 litres of hot, not boiling water. Most people will advise boiling water, but I find this makes the Carophyll separate and within hours sinks to the bottom.
On day two I colour feed in the food. My mixture is prepared as follows. 10 grams of Carophyll Red is mixed in a coffee grinder with 1 lb. of egg food that is used during the breeding season. The Carophyll must be mixed evenly throughout the 1 lb of egg food till its consistency is of a course powder. One part of this mixture is then added to six parts of egg food, cold water is added to make it crumbly and given at the rate of 1 teaspoonful per bird. When cold water is added to this mixture the egg food will look just the same as it did when giving to rear your youngsters. If you add warm water the egg food will be pink.
On the third day they do not receive any colouring agent at all. On this day they receive a mixture of equal parts of condition seed and pinhead oatmeal that has fish oil added to it the evening before to soak in. Each bird is given 1 heaped teaspoonful. A level teaspoon of fish oil to 1 lb of seed is recommended, to which I add the same measure of a commercial multi-vitamin and mineral product which will adhere to the oiled seed. This three day sequence continues till the birds just have the head and the neck to moult. They are then removed from the aviary and caged separately. From then until the end of the show season they are fed only colour food starting at the rate of a teaspoonful every other day, and when they have just the face to finish they only have half of a teaspoon every other day. Some breeders only do the colour feeding in the water, this is fine if the birds are moulted out in flights. I would not advise coloured water in the cages as it stains the woodwork. If you have no flights and moult out in cages, I would advise using colour food at the rate of one teaspoonful per day for two days, then miss a day. If the birds dropping are pink to red in colour this will indicate the strength of colour food is correct. This is the worst period of a fancier’s year with feathers everywhere and the birds are not at their best. I however, it is worth it when an ugly duckling turns into a prized Norwich Canary.
Happy moulting
Chris




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.

He is the possible shape and the feathers' character however, that hide a good shape a body. If you are fortunate, you can mate 1 with 6 and produce good youngs in feathers. But attention if you employ these ones the season breeding following, descended youngs could be being a return line the plumage their ascendants (big father - Big mom).

If the illustrated system is employed, he is preferable at times resort at doubles or the schimmel at doubles the intensifier blocks 2 at 5, whereas employing a partner opposite color is usual.
Since years, the rule has been mating intensifier with schimmel and vice poured out, and that rule has been applied about the Greens and Cinnamons as good as yellow qu'aux.

Is employed that the White is schimmel or intensifier a schimmel logically,, Indeed, alone youngs, schimmels whom half are produced, well Whites half Yellows. This results in two factors. Foremost, the feathers these youngs become a coarse actually bad, and second, when yellow) is mated normal schimmel, at a normal intensifier, the descended youngs run depth color.
Of that fact one imagined saying that a theory all the descended birds of White about their ancestresses would run color. In another words, the white had had an effect negative on the color.
My belief is the white plumage that has nothing to do with a I'autre color, it is the constant the schimmel that has dual employment creates the problem.

QUALITE OF PLUMAGE

At the time of I have had the National" opportunity, to converse an amateur with who asked me to compose an article on the quality the plumage.
Usually, I approach that subject with the white but that time I will try to approach the problem under different angles.
En termes généraux, il y a deux types différents de plumages, l'un est doux et généralement large et arrondi dans sa forme, l'autre est plus dur et plus pointu et étroit dans sa forme.
This could be usually, falling, off respectively, in the categories colors the schimmel and intensifier, but always that is not the case. There has okay about fluffy downy, and conversely, schimmels a good deal of intensifiers, very tighten.
The color's depth follows usually the same formula. Indeed they go the hand in the hand, it is as good as the fluffiest of the schimmels lack often color, whereas intensifiers at very compact real plumage, have a depth in the color. This is a general and the rules rule once it have been to are transgressed.
For the artifact that drill, admit 6 categories orderly plumages from the beginning of a feather liked the douce until the very hard. That the like graduating are represented in the artwork infra: soft
