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. TOMITAYA's Page (http://www.snark.co.jp/home/yasu/yasu.htm) Mailing list for the whole birds by Mr.Tomita Kyouhei of Japanese If it is fine site, I want to introduce Japanese site from this year. This "TOMITAYA's Page" is a mailing list for the whole birds. A mailing list is one of a measure of the information exchange that used E-mail that the email is served by more than one people when we transmit email to decided email address. A mailing list called "ML" in Japan is called "group" abroad. The group intending for the whole birds are more than 2000 and the group about cage bird are more than 1000 in only Yahoo.com. I participate in some mailing lists, but it is a task of extreme difficult that is used to the speed if I do not fit it. It is the situation that a reply returns to the back after several minutes that it contributed because there is hardly participation of Japanese. It is a mailing list used actively, but most Japanese ML does not move so. But information exchange is done in "Mailing List of birds" in this "TOMITAYA's Page" very actively. It is the source of information that utility value is expensive. This mailing list intends for all of birds. If you have environment to receive emails regularly and keep decided agreement, you can contribute it freely. Email of about 20 1st are changed when active. Every matter to be related to birds that event, keep, ill, and breeds of birds are posted. It is necessary we of narrow outlook on life use these ML, and to enlarge our field of vision. A lot of the case that knowledge and technique to be effective for a completely different species become useful for the species that own keeps. And we can know the thought of bird keepers of type to be completely different from own. This is superior in in addition to information exchange as the place of human observation. We can read an email contributed to the mailing list by a member exclusive use page as log. Contributions from 98 are put, and we can search by key word. There is hardly mailing list to have such search system. We understand whether Mr.Tomita of administrator in charge understands value of information. The member page includes hospital information and can use that freely after having registered itself. Even this member pages are splendid information. And We can learn the manner to be related to emails in addition to knowledge about bird.

Recently environment of Internet is regulated first, and a lot of the people that holds the use not to know it about the manner. Of course it is natural as a person I think about people reading it, and to write a sentence, but the manner that has been protected on a given occasion exists. It causes an unnecessary trouble to continue the use not to know the manner. This agreement decided in the mailing list obliges it to HTML form (called Rich Text in Windows), ban of an email with attached documents, making a new paragraph in 35 characters if Japanese. These are minimum manners on the use by E-mail instead of rule only of this mailing list. It is interesting that looks at the signature that arranged a name of love bird in or character-picture game of bird because each person devotes itself to signature. There is a manner to six lines as the signature, and it is devised each person how they express it in the number of limited line. Actually, as for such manner, foreign mailing list is not kept. Because there is it when you do not keep a minimum manner and receive criticism very much, you should know correct manner. You are all right even if you participate in mailing list of any place if there is not a problem here. It begin by Mr. Tomita who is the president uses the net and having been going to share information about birds with little information by death of his bird. Current registrant several are about 600, and bird keepers resident in overseas participates in addition to Japan. Mr. Yazawa who is second manager supports Mr. Tomita who spending most of a year abroad by work . They will want to administer it as "the place where friends having the same hobby gather." "Friction of human relations by cannot see a face" peculiar to the net can seem to trouble head most. However, it is the mailing list that an atmosphere is very fine. Actually, there are a few such places which can participate carelessly. It may be said that it is a valuable place. It is one characteristic that we can participate by all birds species. Actually, foreign mailing lists speak more professional details. This will be because they limit bird species. Because it is Japan where hand-feeding goes around, a lot of a topic about hand-feeding. And all information may not be right because a lot of bird keepers participate. There is clearly wrong information inside. This is not to have divided in the mailing list. It is what it can say to the Internet whole because anybody can easily set up site. People receiving it should inspect the truth and adoption of those information fully. There will not be the source of information which is splendid if we do not neglect even that. We participate for information purely. We participate here before participates in foreign mailing lists and learn the structure and manner. It will be pleasant that we find bird friends. All are well. I want to express thanks and respect to Mr. Tomita whom he use materials and sponsor, Mr. Yazawa supporting that at such a place. It is site letting you consider Japan to be well considerably.
