ΚΑΝΑΡΙΝΙ Gloster Corona Αρσενικό
It was created in England (Gloucestershire) around the 1920s by crossing small canaries (mainly Border and Crested Norwich), with the aim of producing an elegant, short and round canary with a sweet character.
Purpose of breeding:
It is a canary of appearance (type), not of song. That is, it is bred for its shape and form, not for its singing, although the males sing beautifully.
It is a gentle, friendly and sociable bird, ideal for beginners. Males are usually more “lively” and expressive.
Living conditions
Cage: Horizontal, at least 45–50 cm long for one bird. Steppe birds of different diameters (for leg exercise). Do not be in drafts or direct sunlight for many hours.
Temperature: Ideally 18–24°C. Avoid sudden changes.
Lighting: 10–12 hours of light daily (especially in winter, additional lighting is needed if there is no natural light).
Nutrition:
Basic seed mix for canaries (millet, niger, oats, cannabouri).
Green foods: lettuce, broccoli, chicory, grated carrot (in small quantities).
Fruit: apple, pear, without seeds.
Egg food: essential during pterygium or reproduction.
Supplements: bone meal, cuttlefish bone (for calcium), vitamins.
Water: clean and fresh daily.
