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.

Just Bengalese
(

site of a Bengalese by Mr.Jim Warburton of British


There is some site of a splendid Bengalese in overseas, Europe in particular. I who did not have knowledge and recognition about a Bengalese was able to see the Bengalese found in foreign site in other kinds with it which I knew until now. I was able to recognize them as the same "Bengalese" by no means. I have read through by a book of Mr.Kouichirou Washio published the other day, "a mystery of a Bengalese introduced into Europe" slightly overnight. It was easy to understand contents very interestingly, too. I notice that an impression of site of the Bengalese which bought a difficulty until now completely changes when I have finished reading it. I read it while thinking about the background and was able to push it forward. I suggest that you will read this book before inspecting site of other Bengaleses in addition to "Just Bengalese" which I will introduce this time. The pleasure is greatly different in what there is not with what you understand about a European Bengalese.
"Just Bengalese" takes up a Bengalese as a show bird. Because there are necessarily many things about genetics in the site of a Bengalese, there is a part to feel that it is difficult a little. There is the idea that does not let you feel such difficulty here. Because it is very famous site, I consider knowing one to be much it. I want to introduce it daringly. The site that introduced mannikins in detail of "A BIRDKEEPERS GUIDE TO MANNIKINS AND MUNIAS" exists in site. Because Mr.Jim Warburton which was an owner of this site received a question from a bird keeper smartly, he made site particularly. If there is an opportunity, it wants to introduce this site to all of you again that the contents are the things which are very excellent same as main site.
Even "Just Bengalese" is considerably large-scale site. There is it about a show bird mainly, but is abundant contents such as acquisition and breeding environment and genetics of a bird and is easy to come to understand it to a person to wrestle with a show bird from now on. It is each explained breeding environment and bait in "HOUSING" and "FEEDING". The breeding box which he uses is bigger than a used thing usually. We will understand that he examines the materials closely in addition to size of a breeding box and always keeps honesty in mind. It is told the method how obtains the bird that a person to wrestle with a Bengalese from now on is good in "FIRST BIRDS". If you have a bird as a show bird, you avoid a pet shop and should obtain a direct bird by transfer from an exhibitor of a show. It is told must get confidence from a partner in it. I do not understand European circumstances, but the people who often have the thought "I do not mind even if I commit rudeness to the other person because it is the same bird keeper" are in Japan. The rudeness often becomes the cause of a trouble. Will it be to be the same even if a country changes? We do not think in the distance here that it is a European story and want to recognize it that is for us to be able to be generated. "BREEDING" is divided finely by the subject. It is introduced cage layout, a breeding method of Inos and Dilute in detail by general explanation.

Contents to be the most splendid in this site are "GENETICS". Contents about this heredity may understand even the person who does not understand English if I have said honestly. I do not know the site that was considered to be easy to understand this elsewhere. There is the site that a diagram uses the heredity table which changed into it and explains. It is explained here around the picture which showed that is a picture of a pretty Bengalese every kind. Because it is each explained from a basic thing to the application, the person whom there is not of knowledge most about a Bengalese follows order and can understand. Site explaining genetics about a kind on the basis of a color very many exists. However, he steps into this site more, and mentions it about the genetics that male and female was related to. Of course a picture is used for a state the same as an aforesaid article abundantly here.
You thoroughly can enjoy an image of each kind by Dutch The Japanse Meeuwen Club in "THE PICTURES". You can look at breeding birds of site owner, Mr.Jim with "BENGIE GALLERY". Because both are abundant in quantity and quality of an image, I have admired beauty and strength of those birds. You can examine a color variation of his African Silverbills to own in "SILVERBILLS". It is explained with breeding method with a bird with charm beautifully. It is his one of a recommended bird kind. It is introduced the origin of a Bengalese in "BENGALESE ORIGINS" in detail. It is examined very in detail and quotes a book of former duke Nobusuke Takamukasa that is famous birds scholar. It seems to be "a mystery of a Bengalese introduced into Europe" which it looked at from Europe, and is recommended because it can enjoy differences of the viewpoint. Valuable information provided only from his experience is shown why the individual that is weak in a "V"mark of a chest has appeared in "MISMARKED SELFS". Splendid contents are prepared by richness.
Mr.Jim Warburton is an expert living with a bird more than 45 years resident in London. Originally he bred a dove and a cock mainly, but keep with Bengaleses and canaries and finchs currently. He did not seem to exhibit it in a show currently, but he obtained good birds once from the Netherlands and bred and seem to have exhibited it. He belongs to British London & Southern Bengalese Finch Club, The National Bengalese Fanciers Association(N.B.F.A) currently. He who has a tattoo of a former biker is a nice guy when I look at his photograph in site. He hardly looks like 55 years old. I thought that Mr.Jim confronted each other in things by very sincere posture when I asked him with around several times emails. His posture can have a good feeling very much. He praises that a Japanese bird keeper does a construction in an overhanging style of a splendid kind. However, there is hardly the information that it describes them, and is introduced in English. It is messages from Mr.Jim to a Japanese Bengalese bird keeper that a British bird keeper demands those information.
