Welcome to
www.americansingercanary.com, one of the largest and most popular
American Singer canary sites
on the web!
For information on the national American Singers
Club, Inc, please visit this page.
For information on the newest additions to the
website, be sure to check the What's New page.
This site is far and away one of the most information - packed sites you will
find dedicated exclusively to American Singers. Take your time and explore
as new things are added frequently.
This
website is primarily a "hobby site" and in the words of one of my bird
buddies, a labor of love. I am not an expert
of any kind- I simply wish to share what I have learned through my own
experiences and from the teaching
of a number of experienced fanciers I have been privileged to befriend.
You will note few
photographs on this page - while photos are lovely to look at, they are
slow to load. I have gone many ways with photos on this site, but have
found that folks have little patience for waiting for files to download.
There are photos on other pages, so if you have a relatively fast internet
connection or are willing to wait for the pictures to download check them
out.
Feel free to relax and enjoy your stay here at
the Happy Home Aviary.
The American Singer Canary
American Singer canaries are a type
of song canary developed in the United States which has been bred for
willingness to sing freely, melodious and varied song, and outgoing
personality.
First
developed in the 1930's by a group of women in the Boston, Massachusetts
area, American Singer canaries have become one of the most popular breeds
of canaries in the United States. A cross between the Border
type canary and the Roller song canary, the American Singer possesses the
best traits of both breeds- the
musical song of the Roller and the pleasing looks of the Border. Its song
is louder in volume than the Roller, but softer
than the Border.
Over the past 70 years, dedicated American Singer canary breeders have
made great strides in the
development of the breed. The resulting improvements in song have produced
the Singers of today
which are
noteworthy for high quality song. The sometimes loud and brash American
Singers of yesteryear have been replaced with songsters who display the
remarkable variety, melodiousness, and - above all- outstanding freedom
for which the American Singer canary is prized.
For interesting
historical snippets about the American Singer canary fancy, check out the
new
Snippets page on the ASC Chapter 22 (DRAGON) website.
Be sure to check
out the DRAGON website at
www.dragon.americansingercanary.com as there is a considerable amount
of educational material about American Singer canaries included on that
site as well.
I am finally writing the book
everyone has been asking me to write- a book dedicated entirely to
American Singer canaries. I will post updates about the book's progress on
the American Singer Book page.
