THE CANARY OF THE MOZAMBIQUE
The Serinus kind is divided in
approximately 40 species (and devout of 80 subspecies) devout famous
di.le which the S. canarius (Canary) that it has truly conquered the
world, becoming, after the dog, lanimale from company devout raised
sulla earth. Today many other birds are following the fates of the
Canary changing in the shape and in the color for being devout
gradevoli allocchio human but nobody of these it belongs to the
Serinus kind. Draft, in fact, of Diamonds Mandarin, Diamonds of
Gould, Psittacidi, Verdoni, Lucherini, Ciuffolotti, Cardinalini of
the Venezuela, Cardellini, Organetti and others. Not even the
Verzellino (Serinus serinus) from many thought the Canary dEuropa,
successful to hold head to conspecifico , in fact, still
today questindigeno of difficult breeding and the little obtained,
spontaneous mutations of color or traslate, (the Verzellino
generates, coupled to the fertile Canary, prole hybrid) very rarely
can be admired to the ornithological extensions. And in any case
important to continue to try, the continuous steps ahead of the
medicine veterinary, zootecnica dellalimentazione and of all the
breeders, will carry us a day to exceed these difficolt. I want in
order to describe unaltra to interesting species of the sort
Serinus, in other words the Canary of the Mozambique (Serinus here
mozambicus) that I have had occasion to raise and to reproduce some
years orsono and that I potentially think a bird a lot adapted
albreeders in cattivit.
Description MALE: altogether along 11,5 cm
approximately, it has yellow forehead sopracciglia and cheeks lemon,
sides of the neck of green color clear olive, nape and back of the
same color, streaked for of dark. Neck, mento and ventre yellow
loaded lemon, remiganti and dark tawny helmsman. The picchiettati
flanks are of yellow a little cargo and than green gray. Legs, dark
spout and black nails tawny, eyes.
FEMALE: it leggermente has dimensions devout small of
male (11 cm approximately), to which somiglia a lot even if the
colors, especially the yellow, devout is faded; one characteristic
that unquestionably differentiates it from the male represented from
a collarino of piume dark on the chest whom they form a species of
gray-tawny littles ball (seems nearly that the female wears a black
pearl necklace) mind the male has mento, yellow neck and chest.
YOUNG PEOPLE: they have a color
much similar one to that one of the female, anchessi possess the
collarino of dark pens on the chest, but remarkablly devout
confused. After the first dumb possible one to distinguish easy the
males from the females being observed the chest and listening to the
song (the male of the Mozambique a great singer but nozzle often
along I do not hiss).
DISTRIBUTION, HABITAT And FEEDING IN
NATURE
The C. of the Mozambique alive still
nellAfrica north orients them obviously, southern and in Mozambique.
It attends open zones or with low vegetation and visit often fields
subjects cultivate to you muovendosi in 50-80 flocks. Nutre of seeds
of the graminacee wild that it has been cultivated, especially mile
and panic. During the complete reproduction the diet with small
bugs, larve and acarus.

REPRODUCTION In nature the riproduttivo period goes from
September to January. The male corteggia the female with its song
and once formed the brace he begins the construction of the nest
that prepared on high not devout bushes of 5 meters. The nest of
small dimensions with inner diameter of approximately 5 cm and one
profondit of 3 cm. After to have placed three or four eggs the
female them broods for 13 days and the male in this rather active
phase, often nourishing the female. Like gi said, after 13 days
dallinizio of it broods eggs schiudono and the chicks are feed to
you in the first 5-6 days from the female, with larve dinsetti
procurate from the male, which, after the 6 day contributes in
direct way allalimentazione of the prole. To blind person 20 days
from schiusa the small abandon the nest, remaining for with to the
parents until the weaning, after that generally are drive away to
you from the male.
