We
are PIETRO TELLAROLI and
MAURIZIO RONCARATI from Bologna, and are 42 and 44 years old respectively. Both of us started, at a tender age in 1982, to raise GLOSTERS and have since belonged to the A.B.C. (Associazione Bolognese Canaricoltori) association. For many years we have exchanged them, and then in 1999 we decided to combine our experience and knowledge. |
|
First
of all we established some basic rules with which we based our collaboration
on: natural and varied nourishment and appropriate lodging with
rigorously maintained hygiene. We are both convinced that an ample
use of pharmaceutical products, either therapeutic or energetic,
would weaken or in the best of cases alter the immunity defenses
of our canary friends. Therefore we apply a 'strict natural selection',
and not only in relation to the type.
|

 |
When
March comes around (and not earlier), every year we breed about 30/35
females, from which we usually obtain 150/160 little ones of many colours.
As soon as they are independent they are freed in appropriate aviaries.
Only at a later stage we evaluate together which ones could be eventually
exhibited. We have followed the guidelines of the most famous British
breeders, from which we have purchased various birds, and sometimes,
with alternate luck.
|
|
Our
main objectives are the roundness of the forms and the brightness of
the feathers together with the control of the size. Having followed
this course from the beginning, we have never missed out on the exhibitions
renowned for the English breed like the Bologna show (held every year
on the first Sunday of November) and the specialized ones of Ravenna
and Modena (usually held in December).
|
 |
 |
In
these type of shows the judges utilize the 'confrontation' or 'english
style' method, the latter being the one with which we all have fun mostly.
All the subjects belonging to the same category (colour) are observed
and scrutinized, most of the times with comments regarding merit and
defects being expressed loudly, and then the best are elected.
|
|
It
is always an excellent occasion to meet with 'colleagues' and exchange
a few words. We hope to come in contact with a very high number of persons
that are interested in raising this splendid breed of canaries, for
which we have developed a strong passion, and to be able to divulge
it as much as possible. Good luck to everyone. Pietro and Maurizio.
