PREVENTION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES OF Birds Finchs

Finches are susceptible to many infectious etiology bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic. Some of these species are strictly specific (one species is sensitive to a particular pathogen), others are common to a wider group of birds or potentially all caged birds. Understanding which species are sensitive to a particular infectious disease in nature and how this infezioneCardellina all'imbecco intent of many children might be introduced into breeding is of utmost importance to perform appropriate prophylactic measures. The prevention of infectious diseases in avian pathology is probably more important than in other areas of veterinary because birds often exhibit symptoms of a disease only when the disease process is well advanced in nature, in fact, a sick bird is usually "hide" their medical condition to avoid the attack by predators (Finches are the usual prey of many animals) and it is likely that this instinct is maintained in captivity. In many cases, therefore, only a very careful eye may reveal early disease in place in a single bird or a whole group of birds. Prophylactic sanitation is particularly important in avian field since, unlike the case for many pets, there are no commercially sufficient vaccines to prevent major diseases.
Here are discussed the main precautions to be followed to prevent the most common infectious diseases of the Finches.

Bird Food (European Goldfinch Carduelis)

In the winter bird food harder to come and cart it closer to homes. Especially when food is hung. A reader of this column sent me this perfect picture of one of our most colorful songbirds: the putter or chaffinch. The head is red, white, black and the wings are black with bright yellow. The putter is related to the finch. Finches are seed eaters and therefore have a strong wide mouth. The putter is as good on the picture to see a rather long beak, which is not as wide as other finches. This is useful between the spines of the thistle flower seeds to fish, because that is their favorite diet. In summer, they eat insects and like most songbirds are especially their young with insects reared.

Particular
In most species only the male sings. When the putter gently sings the female, only slightly less extensive. Because they look nice and cozy because of the singing of both sexes, the putter also known as cage birds kept. In appearance the sexes differ little. Allen is the red ring around the beak of the female smaller than the male and keep at it for the purpose.

Where
The goldfinch is in Europe, Asia and North Africa. Usually it is a state bird. Only the northern draw animals in the winter to the south. Therefore, in our country in the winter anymore putter, who were mostly in groups roam. The Netherlands is a relatively common breeding bird putter. Also in Haarlemmermeer, the kind found in many gardens, especially in the winter and he broods in the Heimanshof.

The European Goldfinch Carduelis Carduelis

One of the most beautiful songbirds of our country is the goldfinch carduelis carduelis. The name is European Goldfinch, and the ancient name is goldfinch because of the custom to feed on the seeds of thorns (spine). Other names have been given is tourkopoula, the red color has on her head and looks like a Turkish fez. Call it even linnet, Zigadreli, Kokkinotsemperou, Beauty, Stragalini and in Cyprus say Sgartili.

The Yellowbird is a source of inspiration for many writers, poets, painters and has starred in numerous books, songs, poems and paintings. During the Byzantine period, the goldfinch was the most common kind, symbolizing the love of Christ. Her name has been associated with a number of folk tales, ancient Greek myths and traditional stories.

The goldfinch is beautiful because of the wonderful combination of colors of feathers, is because of the excellent melodist majestic and melodic singing, but is especially beneficial to agriculture since food is the seeds of thorns and weeds and pests.

Is easily recognizable by the red face (mask) and black and white head. It has full black wing with broad yellow stripes, even when sitting, ouropygio white and black tail with white spots. The beak is long and very sharp in a yellow color with a small black spot in the winter, and with the advent of the breeding season totally turn white as the legs become flesh color. Both sexes are fairly similar to each other by small recognizable differences. The young birds are greyish brown head with faint stripes without the red and black adults.

The Yellowbird is a sedentary bird, found throughout Europe, the coast of North Africa, Turkey, West and Central Asia, Scandinavia, Siberia have been found also for other species in America, Australia and New Zealand, with variations in coloration of feathers.
Widely found in scrub land, woods with low trees, parks, orchards, olive groves, gardens and especially where there gaidouroagkatha. In autumn and winter flocks formed around 40 birds, while in spring, once the almond draw leaves begin to prepare for mating.

Of natural enemies, except the man who in various ways trying to capture to enjoy the singing, is the number of raptors such as owls, mice and snakes.

For this reason, prefers to build its nest in tall, isolated trees have a broad vision and always thin outer branches with dense foliage. It builds its nest among the crotch with great art minutes using twigs, leaves, dried herbs minutes and the sound and elaborate nest all the birds of its kind. Breeds twice about 4-6 lefkogalaza to turquoise eggs each time, once in late spring and a summer, after it has grown chicks. Never give birth in the same nest. He makes everything new. Klossaei for 14 days, their eggs and chicks shall equally and both parents. When the young are not at risk of leaving but a timid bird. They are birds that have love and solidarity among them, rare and always debating one the other.

For the nutrition and care during the breeding is that all spizes (Floria, furnishing, etc.).

Breeding European GoldFinchs Carduelis

Although I've always had a few goldfinches at my house ... I never thought I could be the ram. Through the Internet and knowing people care about this bird, I learned that it is a myth that the goldfinch is not mate in the cage! So with the help of friends began to gather my couples.
After two years, keeping me has nothing to do with what I had started to do it.
youngs 2006

The first year I had a major failure. Many wild birds, many small cages, many changes in my couples ... The result? A BIG NOTHING!
The second season started more correctly. I asked farmers, I made visits to farms, and thus managed to get out of my first karderinakia.

The keeping me consisted of:

6 pairs of goldfinches and mutant
5 from Greek. ancestrals

There began my love for mutations. I took 15 young from that one day before you go on holiday I missed the 6! while it was already 1.5 to 2 months. Throughout this year after they impressed with the mutant goldfinches started to make friendships with breeders from abroad and more than Belgium, which indeed I did and I went to buy birds for me and some friends of farmers.

The second year I moved into a new house and although my birds stressaristikan enough, we saw about 30-35 of the young but not katafaran live only 4 of the heat that was dommatio, which lasted for 4-5 days on 45 degrees Celsius ...

Hoping that we'll have solved all the problems of space I've got birds in my breeding I have almost all mutations goldfinches. I have agate, Brown, Isabel, Sattine, Eoumo, Yellow (And in combination with others such as Isabel Yellow, Yellow Sattine, Yellow and Yellow Eoumo agate) and of course Asprokefales a primitive phenotype and Asprokefales Sattine, agate, Eoumo.

In my possession a total of 18 pairs of goldfinches that most are Sivirias and Greek which over time will try to pass the mutations in our goldfinch, which for me is the very best! This is something I will try some farmers together, and although it will take us a few years .. We will try with a lot of patience ...
