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.

My Gouldian Aviary

Site of a Gouldian Finch by Mr.Paul Roberts of an Australian


Where is the site that can look at the Gouldian Finch which is the most beautiful with Internet? I do not lose and will answer "It's My Gouldian Aviary ". The Gouldian Finch which Mr.Paul Roberts has lets you feel the beauty that powerful vitality was full of. I think that I call at his aviary, and I want to try to look at these birds by this eye for the beauty. I paid attention to beauty of the image and site design when I visited this site a half year ago. However, each contents were filled up more currently. It grew that the contents, quantity were together splendid. I am surprised at the only fact that this site was filled up for half a year. "Tips" of him which is introduced everywhere is very useful for birds of other kinds in addition to a Gouldian Finch. Update is done frequently, too. It is so with daily work that we visit this site.
We can select each contents among a top page by a page of Site Index when we enter it. Each contents come to open with the other window. It is the site constitution that was considered to be easy to inspect it. There are contents of 25 all. Contents to be related to an aviary are very splendid. His aviary introduced with more than one contents to do including "Our Aviary" is functional and very beautiful and am clean. Structure of an aviary is thought about smartly, and it is 1.6m wide, 4.7m long, size of 2.1m high. Actually, it is felt to be bigger. A waterfall is installed in the aviary inside, too. He always cycles water of 16l and devise it with variety in management of the water. They are introduced with contents of Importance of Worming in detail. You will understand his hardship and trial and error until the present. This waterfall seems to be popular with birds. You can watch an image of the birds which are freely idle at this waterfall in everywhere of site to do including "Importance of Bathing". The lovely condition lets you forget hardship for a bird keeper.
Harmful insect measures of an aviary are introduced in detail. We understand how he makes an effort in order to keep environment of an aviary smartly. Posture of this him is the key that a construction in an overhanging style does of a beautiful Gouldian Finch. Actually, his Gouldian Finch is bigger than a standard in Australia. However, he oneself thinks that it is Gouldian Finch original size. It is introduced bait and a nest, breeding with each contents besides an aviary. It is most in most site to introduce combination of bait and the kind. Our Gouldian Diet explains how you give bait to mainly. Bait is surely different in a thing needed by environment. The one where introduces a method to give to a fact than contents of bait is all the time useful for us. So long as we are not the beginners who do not seem to understand it who are good if we give any kind of bait. The salmonella becomes a serious problem in an area without a custom to eat an egg directly.
There is a custom to eat a raw egg in Japan. Therefore it is demanded severe hygiene management from a production supplier of an egg. A Japanese egg is comparatively safe.

There are many cases that we overheated and sterilize them with a microwave oven when we give a husk to birds. There will be many similar people to give it to after handling it in Japan. I gave it to the same state, too, but then can seem to feel relieved when I look at this site. These are explained with the solution method with "Gouldian Tips". Please watch interesting one.
The method how is provided only by his experience are introduced in "Build a Hospital Cage" about a nursing method. I can examine a making method of a Hospital Cage in various site. His slight tips of nursing are introduced here. For example, that blue light is good for an illness bird and that he adds some apple vinegar to water to drink be written down with the reason.
Elsewhere...... the conservation purpose of a wild Gouldian Finch "Gouldian Recovery Project" and "Recording System Download" that can download a breeding record with word documents, The mailing list that he presides over is introduced in "Victorian Gouldian Group". A beautiful image is summarized in "Gouldian Photo Gallery", but it is processed into screen saver particularly and can download it from "Free Screen Savers". In addition, there is a page of Owl Finch and St Helena Waxbill, and an image of this place is very beautiful, too.St Helena WaxbillOwl Finch You can enjoy an aviary introduction of other Gouldian Finch keepers and a substantial link, too.
Mr.Paul Roberts lives in Australian Melbourne to be located in south. I looked at his beautiful image and thought that he was the person who worked concerned with a photograph. However, it was a real mistake. He worked as a policeman for 17 years and had four Gouldian Finchs for the first time in 95. He began that he filmed birds from the time. He does not use special machine parts, and a color revision of
an image does not reach.I feel his talent and effort that let a splendid Gouldian Finch and image come true between short terms. He is particular about keeping beauty of normal of a basis strictly. Posture of such him may be to be the minority in the present situation that we encourage unusual being a different color to us easily, and mating between unplanned kinds is done. But I feel his posture glad. In addition, he seems to want a Japanese Gouldian Finch fan to lay emphasis on breeding of normal. I had a splendid message toward a Japanese bird keeper to an email from him this time.
"Just remember, the most important thing is clean water, a very clean environment and plenty of natural sunlight."
We are apt to forget carelessly it, but it is a basis, and it is all. Naturally it. However, there are a few people who can say so unexpectedly.
I have become a fan of Mr.Paul Roberts.
