Posture
zebra finches
As announced at the general meeting of may, a series of posture zebra finches will be added this year.
Since little attention has been paid to it so far and this series will soon be in the question programme under number C78. Here is a word of explanation.
This series will include zebra finches with a big format. We are thinking primarily of the UK types and their offspring. Both males and females, both young and over-aged and both own birds and purchased specimens play together in one serie: serie C78. No points are awarded, but the birds are placed from 1 to ... The standard used was made available to us by Spanish Ornithological Confederation (C.O.E.).
Check your breeding area to see if there are any zebra finches that fit in this series. These birds can be entered at the regional shows of DIAM (Gembloux), OVZC (Nieuwkerken-Waas) , ZCB (Houtvenne) and ZCL (Lummen).
For each show, BZC will provide a trophy for the winner.
Take part and ensure instructive and interesting conversations between the rows!
