Japanese bird magazine
I am suspending the publishment for busyness currently

I wrote a column with a Japanese bird magazine occasionally. They are about timor sparrow. A name of the magazine says All Birds. It is an only bird specialty magazine in Japan.
A lot of people came to visit it from overseas to my site. The chief of editing was interested in the thing. Therefore I was to publish a column serially from a magazine of January, 2002 publication. It introduces foreign bird site to a Japanese.
The column is written in Japanese, but I translate it into English and pick it up here.
If there is site of recommendation, please teach it.

Foreign bird site

Internet spreads rapidly, and site about a lot of birds exists there currently. Most of site of a Japanese bird are love bird pride. For it, site of a foreign bird is an exhibition of breeding and breeding information and a place of information exchange. In addition, it is impressive that an establishment person and the visitor demand information about bird by sincere posture. I recommend that foreign site is visited in addition to Japanese site if there is it in environment to connect with Internet. It can be got the hint that you do not seem to hit on from a viewpoint of a Japanese.

S.N.AVIARIES (http://www.snaviaries.co.uk/)
Site of finch by Mr.Steve Nesbitt of British

He was the first issue of the foreigner who signed its name to a guest book of my site. I administered site about a timor dusky sparrow, but there was only a visit person of most Japanese till then. A lot of visit people came to come every day currently from his site. I can be about to see his site evaluation being considerably praised here and there highly. It is site of a British representative bird. Posture to do gathering information from a visitor eagerly is a very good impression in addition to information dispatch.

He keeps many kinds of birds such as java sparrow, bengalese, zebra finch, canary, budgerigar, cockatiel, love bird. It is finch to grind including java sparrow that lay emphasis inside. I think whether I am not easy to be familiar with a Japanese because he does java sparrow with site itself mainly.

Contents are bait, aviary, breeding, male and female distinction. They go very much to many divergences. I am interesting because circumstances are a little different from Japan when they read explanation of selection of of bait. It is explained from selection of high quality bait to a save politely. In addition, then a thing is for it to be explained water in detail if it is Europe. He oneself gives general water besides the breeding season, but there seem to be many people giving mineral water and the water which I boiled once to. I think whether Britain is not because the water is good in Europe this. As for him, self cultivates a lettuce whether the reason is because there are a few kinds of greens compared with Japan. In addition, he gives an apple. He oneself is the result that he try to give various fruit to finch. He give occasionally sweet corn of canned food and cous cous (Africa native cereals) . Selection of his bait always attaches great importance to balance of an inne-intestinal bacteria of a bird.

You can look at breeding box and flight cage cared for very neatly in a page of an introduction of aviary. It is explanation that there is not it so broadly, but it is considerably large if it thought from a Japanese level. There is three flight cage and can each accommodate it to 50. Breeding box of a European expression equals it in aviary called bird room. These use it in breeding. Aviary leave an insulation by polyethylene of thickness 5cm to a ceiling and does temperature regulation with a heater. As for the breeding person of a Japanese, there are many cases that manage a bird not to think about temperature of the place of origin, but it seems to be the mainstream in Europe to do temperature management like him. Buying and selling of the living body in a pet shop is not done very much in Europe. There is a page of buying and selling of the living body at a personal interval of bird exchange from such a background, too. A bird of various kinds appears in addition to java sparrow there. Most are Europe, America, but I examine an amount of money and am useful. It is an amount of money that it is easy to put in an applicant whether you compare it with Japan.

A link page is very much substantial, too. He links with site of a bird in the world in addition to Europe. He always looks at site of various birds for various information and turns around. Seems to take it in positively. Is the site that should become a copybook in various meanings.

I change information for Mr.Steve with an email once currently in a week. I am indistinct whether my English reaches precisely. He sends an answer always politely. I understand the tender personality from his sentence. He who is a member of the Australian Finch Society in the UK can be going to join by my starting timor finch association of Japan and them. Because my site was introduced in his site, bird keeper of various countries came to show interest. I thank Mr.Steve very much. He never uses difficult English. Because I always think about a thing of a reader, his site seems to be easy to inspect a native language and the person who do not do it in English. I want to recommend that at first looking at from his site when you inspect foreign bird site.
