Down Northern Ireland, also the birthplace also of Thomas Andrews Jr. of Titanic fame. I am sixty-eight years of age and married. I have three grown-up children and eleven grandchildren. My grandfather bred birds, so I was introduced myself at an early age. Fifty years ago I started breeding and showing competitively and acquired a substantial number of trophies. I have made a lot of friends along the way, worldwide and still maintain many of these great friendships today. All my working life I worked in engineering and the last twenty years was spent helping to build airplanes. My other hobbies are breeding and showing rare breeds of chickens and have had good success with them as well. Gardening and the history of Ireland are also an enjoyment of mine, especially the history of the town and area I live in. I am honored to be asked to come to judge your show. I look forward to building new friendships as well. The best of luck for a successful show. Division 2 - Glosters - Mr. Rob Wright My involvement with birds started at an early stage as my grandfather, father and his brothers all kept various types of birds. I started at about seven years old. My father had Border canaries and I decided to keep and exhibit European birds. I took a break from birds till I married my wife Anne in 1972. This was the year I saw my first Gloster canary and was amazed at the crest on the corona, although it bore little resemblance to crests we now have on modern Glosters. I purchased my first three glosters locally and these became the basis of my stock. After a few years of keeping types of birds I decided to specialize in Glosters. I had also persuaded my father to keep Glosters and after a year exhibiting independently we became a partnership 1974. This coincided with a rapid expansion in the number of Gloster breeders in the UK and novice breeders outnumbered champions three to one. We enjoyed success from our first year as champions and continued to exhibit and judge together till my father's death in 1995. Meanwhile my son had been exhibiting and judging Fife canaries and it was decided we would form a partnership. I started judging in 1976 with European birds and went on to judge Glosters from 1980 and Fifes in the late eighties. I have judged Glosters at both the English and Scottish Nationals and most of the specialist clubs in the UK including the IGBA. My international judging has taken me as far as Israel, France, Portugal, Belgium, Italy, Canada, Seattle, Holland and Greece. -33- Division 3 - Type - Mr. Brian Johannson I would like to thank the National Bird Show for inviting me to judge in this year's show. At the show, I look forward to meeting with all of you good people, where can we'll discuss the birds, the show or the many other topics related to the bird world. Normally I do not like to tell tales about myself, however, for over forty years I have been active in the world of birds in one form or another. I started as a young boy in a partnership keeping pigeons. As a young man I was into foreign birds including European finches and zebra finches. In a Partnership with my father-in-law, we won best Zebra finch and best foreign pair in the 1973 National Show in Vancouver. Shortly after that I tried my hand at creating Mules between my European Finches and Gloster Canaries. I have also kept, bred, and successful shown members of the Parrot families. In 1975, I started my long love with the canary. I have kept, bred, and exhibited Colour canaries, Yorkshires, Lancashires, Norwich, Scot fancy, Fife, Glosters, and Borders. Currently, my aviary has the three breeds of Borders, Fife, and Glosters. I have been successful on the Show Bench both in Canada and the USA for all three types, having won Best of Breeds as well as Best in Shows. I am currently a Canadian National Judge for the Avicultural Advancement Council of Canada Division 4 - Old Varieties - Mrs. Deborah Eaton It is an honor to have been chosen to judge the Old Varieties division on the return of the National to Chicago. I have been a longtime member and exhibitor of this great show since the early 1980's. Breeding various types of canaries has been a joy in my life that has brought many great friends and memories to my heart. The National has always had a tradition of mentoring new exhibitors and welcoming them to our show. A tradition that is worth continuing on, that is how it began for me. Animals, furred, and feathered of all varieties are a part of my life. Foremost are my American Quarter Horses and my birds. Birds of all types; Old Variety Canaries, Type Canaries, and Softbills are my favorites. My husband Carl and I have dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, peafowl, and horses. We have bred, shown, exhibited and loved each and every one of them. My real-life day job involves wearing many hats, working in a family practice doctor's office and our own business in steel construction. I serve on the National Cage Bird Show, Inc. Board of Directors, many years as secretary-treasurer of the Old Varieties Canary Association, and the Canary Finch Society in my home town of Houston, Texas. This year's NBS show enters a new season of great changes for the show. I look forward to the show, my friends and enjoying the high point of show season. -34- Division 5 - Hartz - Mr. Jim Warren I began raising canaries in 1981. In March of 1982 I tragically lost all my birds in a fire. A member of our local bird club, Ray Havens offered me a pair of Red Factor canaries to get me back into birds. That was the basis of by stock. I then began showing and I have been showing Canaries since 1993. I enjoy attending the shows and breeding Canaries. I have raised Colorbred, Type and Old Variety Canaries and I have also raised Budgies, Finches, and Pigeons. I am currently raising Borders, Fifes, Hartz and a single pair of Red Factor Canaries. I attended my first National Bird Show in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with Ray Havens. I have enjoyed all the NBS shows I have attended, meeting new people, seeing friends from past shows and learning so much from other breeders. I consider it an honor to be selected by the NBS membership to be the Division 5 Hartz Canary judge for the NBS show this year. I wish all of the exhibitors the best of luck and welcome visitors and new exhibitors alike. Best of luck to all and may you all have safe travels home after the show. Division 6 - Fife Fancy Canary - Mrs. Regina McCarthy My attraction for canaries and finches began in early childhood, in my homeland, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Breeding canaries was my hobby for many years prior to my arrival in the United States in 1971. After arriving in this country I became involved again with birds and joined various clubs. My great satisfaction in this hobby is the pleasure and honor I feel when I am selected to judge any of the Type canaries. I have been invited to judge shows all over this country as well as in Canada, Mexico and Belgium. In addition to being a member of the National Bird Show, I am a member of many other clubs in the USA, Canada and Europe. I have served clubs in the position of secretary, treasurer, trustee, secretary/treasurer, panel of judge's chairperson and show manager. During my years of breeding and exhibiting Fifes and Glosters, I realized that not all birds drink freely from the external show cage drinkers. I developed the Mini Drinker which, while originally intended for the Gloster show cage, to my great satisfaction has gained widespread popularity and is now in use for many breeds of birds. I have been pleased with the success of my birds whenever they have been exhibited and have most appreciated the many wonderful friends I have made as a result of my interest in canaries. I am honored once again to judge and to select the best diminutive, poised and balanced Fife canary for their worthy status awards at the 67th National Cage Bird Show in St. Charles. -35- Division 7 - Staffords - Mrs. Barbara Rosario This year I am very pleased to have the honor of judging the Stafford Division at the National Bird Show. This will be my second time judging this Division at the NBS. At the 1996 National in Dearborn, Michigan, both Harold Sodamann and Mark Whiteaker introduced the Stafford canary to the National Bird Show by displaying a few birds in show cages at the entrance of the show hall. This was the great introduction of this canary to our show. Over the subsequent years many dedicated people lent their efforts to furthering the interest in this breed. Their work culminated with the Stafford canaries being granted divisional status in 2008 at the NCBS in Lansing, Michigan. It will be my pleasure to officiate at the show bench at this year’s NBS in St. Charles. I also want to congratulate the all the Stafford canary exhibitors on their success and will enjoy reviewing each exhibited bird and judging it to the Stafford standard. Division 8 - Lipochrome Colorbred - Mr. Claudio Gato I am a father of four and a grandfather to three. I have been raising canary since I was twelve years old. I won my first show in 1976 under Gino Abbate with a red lipochrome intensive. I have won seven Kellogg/Higgins. I have judged many shows in North America and I have been to Italy many times to see shows and visit breeders there. The thing that I enjoy about this hobby first is doing it with my dad, then the competition, and the many friends you make along the way, and those friendships are everlasting. -36- Division 9 - Melanin Classic - Mr. Albert Silva For as long as I can remember, we have always had some kind of animal at home. I have always been a big animal lover, especially birds and dogs. Having grown up with as many as ten different types of pets at one time, it is with no surprise that my hobby as a grown man has involved animals. All of my family are animal lovers as well. I currently live in California with my wife, Hazel, and twin daughters. We breed and show Color Breed canaries and, through good fortune and hard work, we have done very well at the show bench. We have won multiple awards throughout the states in all major and most competitive shows, including multiple National titles at National Cage Bird Show, both Kellogg and Higgins awards, as well and the coveted Pat Scannell award for best all around exhibit. I must confess that none of my accomplishments would have been possible without the fortune of having friends both here and abroad who were willing to share their expertise. Therefore, I believe that if you want to learn, join and support your local clubs and you will be amazed at the knowledge you will gain. It is a great pleasure to judge the 67th National Bird Show, a place where good friends meet. See you all soon at Pheasant Run. Division 10 - Melanin New Color - Mr. Carmelo Taibi I was born in Toronto, Ontario, moved to Sicily, Italy when I was four years old and returned to Toronto at the age of eighteen. While in Italy, I kept a few canaries, but it was not until twelve years ago that I fell in love with raising, breeding, showing and learning about Lipochrome canaries, Melanin canaries and New Colour canaries. I have been a member of the Canadian Association of Colourbred Canaries (CACC) since 2003, and have had the opportunity to attend many North American shows. In 2008, I had the pleasure of going to Reggio, Italy, to see the Italian National Bird Show, and in 2010, I attended the Belgium Colourbred Canary Show; both were wonderful experiences for me. I was the winner of the 2010 Higgins trophy for New Colour canaries. I am thankful for all of my teachers from Canada, the United States and Europe for sharing their passion for canaries with me and cultivating my interest in Colourbred canaries. In 2012, I became a certified National Colorbred Association judge. I am honored for being selected to judge the Melanin New Colour Division at the 2015 National Cage Bird Show in Chicago, Illinois. I am looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new breeders. -37- Division 11 - Finches & Softbills - Mr. Clarence Culwell I have been raising birds since about 1950. I originally started with American Parakeets, which I bred for several years. Later, a pair of Zebra finches were added which really caught my interest and has been a priority ever since. Over the years I have also kept Cockatiels, Love Birds, Senegals, Conures, Parrotlets, Cockatoos and other miscellaneous birds. After keeping birds for some years, I started showing my birds and enjoyed the competition and friendships that I made at the shows. Some of my dearest friends are friends that I have made in the bird world. I started judging birds after the encouragement I received from many people and fellow exhibitors. I am a Panel Judge for National Finch and Softbill Society, National Cockatiel Society, and North American Parrot Society. Over my extensive judging career, I have judged many shows across the country, including the National Cage Bird Show a few times. I am the judge's panel chairman for North American Parrot Society. I am currently a director for the National Cage Bird Show and currently serving the membership as the treasurer. I am truly honored to be selected to preside of the Finch division. It is a highlight of my judging career. I would like to wish the National Bird Show a very succesful Division 12 - Parrots - Mr. Jim Heffernan I am a father of six, one boy and five girls. I have been keeping birds for over thirty years starting at the age of twelve with a Zebra Finch which was closely followed by a Society finch. Today they still remain my two favorite finches. I was a founding member and judge of the Irish ZFS and Irish foreign bird club. I became a judge in Ireland at age 20 and judged most of the large shows there, some several times. I moved to the USA eighteen years ago and have been judging here in the USA and Canada for several years. I look forward to meeting old and making new friends. -38- Division 13 - Rare / Eyering Lovebirds - Mr. Mike Miller Love Birds have been very rewarding to me since my engagement with them in the 1970's. I am honored to be asked for the third time to judge the heralded NBS. Since I became a judge in 1990, I have judged shows from the east to the west coast in the USA and have had the pleasure of judging the great birds in beautiful Puerto Rico for the past several years. It has been an honor to judge at two AFA annual conventions recently as well as winning a BIS at one of them in Raleigh. I have also had the pleasure of winning the Love Bird division at the NBS several years ago. Additionally, I have had the privilege of holding the Chairman's position in the African Love Bird Society for the past several years as well as being on the select committee in the 1980's that defined the Fischer's and Masked species for our exhibitors. The most significant accomplishment of all this is the wonderful like-minded bird people I have befriended and all the beautiful birds I have enjoyed seeing and judging. My time spent in our hobby has been an irreplaceable part of my life. Best of luck to everyone’s breeding programs. Good Luck to all the Exhibitors. I wish the best for NBS and their show in St. Charles. Division 14 - Peachfaced Lovebirds - Mrs. Janet Landvater I'm from Hershey, Pennsylvania, and work as a self employed Hair Stylist. I've been married for fifty years to my husband Jim who raises exotic pheasants, ducks & quail. We have two children Jim Jr, Brenda and two granddaughters Hannah 21 and Rebecca 18. Due of my husbands interest in exotic pheasants I became interested in cage birds and asked for a pair of Finches for my birthday in 1988. My collection soon grew to include, Lovebirds, Cockatiels, Cockatoos and a pair of African Grey's. I soon settled into breeding all Lovebirds, besides breeding the Peachfaced Lovebirds I also bred some of the rare species of Lovebirds the Abyssinian and Madagascar. My first show that I attended was the Chester Cage Bird Club in 1988 and immediately became hooked on exhibiting. The next year I started showing my lovebirds and cockatiels. In 1991 I attended my first National Cage Bird Show in Dearborn, Mi. and won my first Kellogg in New Orleans, La. with a Madagascar and again in San Juan, PR. with a Male Abyssinian. I am a member of the African Lovebird Society and also serve as a regional director, a panel judge since 1995, and I am currently serving as ALBS affiliation's & awards chairperson. I''m an honorary member of the Chester County Bird Club in PA, and a founding member of the Northeastern Lovebird Exhibitors Assoc. I have judged at two National Cage Bird Shows one in 2002 where I judged the Lovebird Rare & Eyering Division held in Santa Clara, CA, and at the 2007 National where I judged the Lovebird Peachfaced Division in Denver, Co. I feel honored to have been chosen to judge the Peachfaced division at another National. I look forward to seeing the results of everyone's breeding programs. Good Luck to all the Exhibitors. -39- Division 15 - Cockatiels - Mr. Royce Irwin Like so many of my fellow bird fanciers, I started with just one bird in 1984. It was a Cockatiel that my son received when he was sixteen years old and the man who gave it to him told him about breeding and showing birds. Naturally, we needed a second bird to start having chicks so that is where my love for birds sprouted wings. We joined our local bird club and found other birds to join our aviary including Budgies. My first national organization to join was the American Cockatiel Society and my first National Cage Bird Show was in Denver in 1997. I achieved judge status in ACS many years ago but changed to the National Cockatiel Society in 1997. I am qualified in judging parrots through the North American Parrot Society. At this time, we have Cockatiels, Budgies, Finches and Bourke Parakeets but have been the most successful in breeding and exhibiting Cockatiels . My first opportunity to judge the National was in Puerto Rico in 2000 and I have been privileged to judge in Canada, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and all of the local shows in Texas. I truly enjoy the challenge in competition and have had the joy if seeing some beautiful exotic birds and I always enjoy seeing new breeders win spots on the Top Benches. Thank you for this opportunity and good luck to all our exhibitors in Chicago. Division 16 - American Singers - Mr. Tom Yang Tom was born in Thailand and raised in France. In 1993, Tom moved to the United States where he and his wife Emily currently reside with their children outside of Detroit, Michigan. Tom’s interest in birds began at a very early age when he started raising Canaries. His fascination, curiosity, and passion for the fancy continued to increase as he grew older. Tom was first introduced to the American Singer Fancy in 2003 and today is an active and valued member of his local club, DRAGON Chapter 22 of the American Singers Club. He has served DRAGON as the show manager for the club’s annual Song Trials for the past ten years. Tom has also previously served the National ASC club as 2nd vice president and as a nominator. In addition to serving his local ASC Club and the National ASC Club, Tom became an accredited ASC judge, received his judging card in 2007, and immediately began judging ASC sanctioned shows throughout North America. Tom has a reputation for being a well trained, devoted, and scrupulously honest judge. Over the years, Tom has enjoyed the camaraderie of other enthusiasts who share his love for the American Singer Canary. Tom is very honored to judge the American Singer Canary division at this year’s esteemed 67th National Bird Show in St. Charles, Illinois. He thanks everyone for the opportunity to do so, and he's looking forward to seeing everyone there. Good luck to all….. -40- Division 17 - Rollers - Mr. Almin Omic I was born in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Southeastern Europe. In 1995, at the age of nineteen, I moved to the United States and have lived there since. My family always had different kinds of birds ever since I was little. I fell in love with German Roller canary song at a young age and always dreamed of raising them seriously. Finally, in the early 2000s I located some German Rollers and since then I have been an active member of a number of clubs, both locally and internationally. In 2013 I became an accredited judge of the Central States Roller Canary Breeders Association. Currently I am serving as vice president and treasurer of one of the larger roller canary clubs the Northwest Roller Canary Club of Seattle, Washington. I am always happy to share my roller experiences and help breeders recognize the various Roller Tours. I appreciate the NBS members selecting me to judge and wish you a great show. Division 18 - Spanish Timbrados - Mr. Eider Ferreira I was born in Havana, Cuba. I am forty-one years old and moved to the United States in 1991. I always kept cage birds throughout my childhood. I started with several varieties of Canaries and wild Finches from Cuba, however, I have always been amazed by Songbirds such as the Cuban Nightingale, the Mockingbird, and Song canaries. It was back in 1998 when I heard the Spanish Timbrado for the first time and immediately fell in love with its cheerful, bright, and metallic song. I have ever since dedicated only to breeding and showing the Spanish Timbrado. I became a Spanish federation of Ornithology (F.O.E.) judge in Spain in 2006, and judged at the National Bird Show 2006 in Chicago, in San Juan Puerto Rico, and side by side with senior judges in Spain. It is an honor to have been nominated and selected again to judge the 2015 National Bird Show in Chicago and look forward to seeing you all. Good luck everyone! -41- -42- -43- Canary a i b lo um46 Annual Show Clu b C th Judges: Join Us in Portland and Experience the Great Northwest November 7 & 8, 2015 Red Lion Hotel Vancouver at the Quay 100 Columbia Street, Vancouver, WA 98660 For: Hotel Reservations: 800-733-5466 or direct 360-694-8341 For MoreInformation: Sandra Foote-Gregory - 503-792-3582 or Hector Diaz - 503-569-6119 www.ColumbiaCanaryClub.com -44- Presented by an Bay Enter Lant prise Phoenix, AZ 85 083 www.sunflex24.com www.birdroom.us Phone 523-581-1742 The Breeder’s Choice for Bird Room Lighting & Control Natural Sunrise/Sunset Simulation BREED MODE (Increases Daily Daylight) REST MODE (Decreases Daily Daylight) USER Configuration Schedules Visit Us @ www.birdroom.us or @ www.sunflex24.com !"#$% $+32*14'50*23'6789 &'()*++*,-.*,(/01,23 -45- An Innovative Bird Room programmable controller for simulating Natural Sunrise/Sunsets.

Without these all other aspects are useless. The general appearance is that of a clean cut, lightly made compact, proportional, close feathered Canary showing no tendency to heaviness, roughness, or dullness, but giving the impression of fine quality and symmetry throughout. HEAD & NECK 10 points. Head wellrounded and neat when viewed from any angle, beak fine, eyes clear and positioned to rest on an imaginary line as an extension to the line between the upper and lower mandible of the beak, very slightly forward of the central point of the head. Neck rather fine, in keeping with the head and flowing smoothly into the body lines and of a sufficient length to give a free, jaunty look to the head carriage. BODY 15 points. Well filled and nicely rounded running in a smooth downward curve from the gently, smooth rise of the shoulders to the point of the tail. The chest is also nicely rounded, but not heavy. The line of the curve to the root of the tail always being downward. Viewed from above and behind the body outline should be symmetrically pear shaped. WINGS 10 points.

A crest cannot be too large. It should consist of an abundance of broad, long and veiny feathers evenly radiated from a small center well over eyes, beak and poll. A good crest may be flat if well filled in at the back and without splits, but a drooping or weeping crest shall have preference. The body should in shape resemble that of a bullfinch possessing substance in proportion to its length with a broad back, nicely arched, full and well circled chest, tail short and narrow wings not extending beyond root of tail, nor crossed at tips, but fitting closely to the body. The neck should be full and the beak short. The bird should stand well across the perch on short legs, with thighs and hocks well set back. The Crest-bred should possess a body as above described. The head should be large and round broad at every part, with a small beak and an abundance of long, broad feathers commencing at entrance of beak, continuing over the crown and flowing well down the poll and should be well browed. In a good Crest-bred the feathers of the crown when turned over should reach the end of the beak, the heavy brow should give the bird a sulky appearance without brushing. When two or more birds are of equal merit in crest or head properties the smaller bird shall take precedence, if it is of the correct type, the Club recognizing it to be more difficult to obtain, but no restriction whatever is placed on the length of the bird. Quality of feather and high condition to have due weight. -102- DIVISION 4 – OLD VARIETIES (cont’d) OLD CRESTED AND CREST BRED VARIETIES SECTION 11 – OLD CRESTED VARIETIES Sponsor - Rudy & Chita Yegnah Cock Hen Old Young Old Young 01 02 Crested, clear or ticked 03 04 05 06 Crested Green variegated 07 08 09 10 Crested Cinnamon variegated 11 12 13 14 Crested White Ground variegated 15 16 17 18 Crested self or foul 19 20 21 22 Fawn variegated 23 24 25 26 Fawn, self or foul 27 28 29 30 Cinnamon variegated 31 32 33 34 Cinnamon, self or foul 35 36 37 38 Any other color 39 40 SECTION 12 – CREST- BRED Sponsor - Fran Sodamann Cock Hen Old Young Old Young 01 02 Crest-Bred, clear or ticked 03 04 05 06 Crest-Bred Green variegated 07 08 09 10 Crest-Bred Cinnamon variegated 11 12 13 14 Crest-Bred White Ground variegated 15 16 17 18 Crest-Bred self or foul 19 20 21 22 Fawn variegated 23 24 25 26 Fawn, self or foul 27 28 29 30 Cinnamon variegated 31 32 33 34 Cinnamon, self or foul 35 36 37 38 Any other color 39 40 -103- The members of the Hartz Club of America would like to wish everyone “Good Luck” at the 2015 National Cage Bird Show in St. Charles, IL HARTZ CLUB of America Proud Supporters of this ad: Alicia Baker, Allison Barnes, Bob & Mary Ann Buckles, Bonnie Cain, David Ziegler, Dianne & Chris Groves, Ella Galik, Ginger Wolnik, Helen Jones, Jim Warren, John & Jane Muscato, Judith Miniter, Laura Bewley, Lecia Reeve, Margaret Blackmon, Marie Miley-Russell, Marlies Beal, Mary Ellen Schott, Mike Griffin, Patreezia Munk-Silverstein, Ray Szramka, Robert Wild, Robert Ziegler, Ron Rattray, Rudy Diehl, Sal DiPasquale, Scott Vrabic, Sergio Martin, Sharlan Toby, Sue Lloyd, V.

New Love Bird & Parakeet Group in Puerto Rico acenpr@hotmail.com / msierralopez@yahoo.com -165- DIVISION 15 – COCKATIELS The National Cockatiel Society welcomes you to this Cockatiel specialty show. The society was organized to meet the growing needs of breeders and exhibitors and to allow them to have a voice in the Society and in the direction of the Cockatiel's development. NCS will accept any traceable closed band and recommends the use of any standard-type Cockatiel show cage. Visual Standard The NCS Standard envisions a long, graceful bird of good body substance and equal proportions. The Cockatiel should measure 14 inches in length from the top of the crown to the tip of the tail. In addition, the crest should approach 3 inches in length. Proportionally, the bird should measure equally in length from the top of the crown to the vent, the top of the shoulder to the tip of the wing, and from the vent to the tip of the tail. The crest, as the Cockatiel's chief physical trademark, should be full and showy, curving back gracefully, with the longer filaments graduating evenly down towards the shorter ones at the rear of the skull. The head should be large and well-rounded without evidence of a “flat top” either behind the crest or at the back of the skull (with good width between) and sheltered by a pronounced frontal browline, creating a proud, “hawklike” appearance when viewed from the front. The bright orange cheek patches should be round, well-colored, and free of “bleeding” extraneous orange feathers elsewhere on the face. The beak should be clean, tucked in and of normal length. The lower mandible should be only partly visible. The yellow face of adult males should be brightly colored and without extraneous grey or orange feathers (except for young males going through the moult) and clearly contrast where it meets the main body feathers. The bib should be deep. The neck, adding grace to the form, should be neither too long nor too short, and particularly evident when the bird is in an alert stance. The Cockatiel is a sleek, stream-lined bird, yet full bodied, showing good substance. When viewed from the front (or back), a generous width across the chest and shoulders in adults (particularly hens) should be evident. The back should be straight, blending with the slender, tapering abdomen. The wings should be large and wide, held tightly, hugging the body with tips close to the tail, without crossing or dropping. All flight feathers should be present. The wing patch should approach ¾ of an inch in width and be clear of extraneous dark feathers. -166- DIVISION 15 – COCKATIELS Sponsor - Wendy Jendro NOVICE SECTIONS Old Cock Young Old Hen Young SECTION 1 -

The first birds were exhibited in the Boston Show of that year. The name American Singers was adopted by vote of the members after this first show. This breed has been standardized and is the only AMERICAN bred Canary known as the AMERICAN SINGER Border-Roller Type Songster. Many have called their birds American Singers, but only birds bred by our plan are GENUINEAMERICAN SINGERS. The members definitely adopted the method of breeding Border to roller in 1942, but this same method was already in use by most of our members in 1935 on through the years, Our Model and 100 Point Score sheet was accepted in 1943 along with instructions for Judges and are used at all shows where AMERICAN SINGERS are shown; Only Official judges may be used where theAmerican Singer Club INC., give patronage. The CLUB was incorporated by donations from members in all states, but through the efforts of BOSTON, MA. Chapter No. 2 we qualify under MA. laws as a nonprofit organization. Our SEAL was designed by Charles Radocy with the help of Mrs. Small, then President, and by Mr. Lucius Armitagte. Out MODEL, was first designed by Mr. Welty and changed to the present model by vote of the Members through the efforts of Chapter 2, Boston. DEFINITION OF THE AMERICAN SINGER CANARY The American Singer Canary is a Song Type Canary bred in the United States by a systematic plan, known as the blending of Roller to Border Fancy over a period of years to produce a Canary that has (1) an outstanding free harmonious song, pleasing to the ear, nether too loud or too harsh, with plenty of VARIETY and (2) a beautiful shape or type not over 5 3/4 inches long with tight feather that will please the average home love of canaries Secretary-Treasurer: Ed Medrano 8908 S.

Judging the American Singer Canary Song The song refers to freedom and rendition. The song of the American Singer (AS) Canary should have the right amount of blending and balance of Roller and Border to be pleasing to the ear. It is a musical sequence of notes and tours naturally given, medium in volume, neither too loud nor too soft or monotonous (with repetitive tours or overly sustained notes). It is a full song of the right quality, with dynamic range, tone, strength, creativity, and great variety. Showmanship is essential, but no exact song or tours are required. The American Singer canary has an outstanding free and rich, harmonious song. American Singer canaries are judged using a 100-point system. The song is evaluated over a twenty (20) minute period, divided into two ten (10) minute sessions. The first session is to judge Freedom; the second session is to judge Rendition. Ten percent of the score is Freedom, which is willingness to sing, ease in starting, and performance, e.g., how quickly and frequently the bird sings. The first ten minutes of judging counts the number of complete songs the bird sings. Each song is worth one point until a maximum of ten (10) points is met. Ten full songs within ten minutes is the judging standard. Freedom is important because an excellentAmerican Singer Canary should sing on and off throughout the entire day. Sixty percent of the score is Rendition which refers to the song as a whole, the musical interpretation or presentation of song. The judge decides, “How much is the song worth? What is its value?” Fault points are deducted if more than six chop notes occur. -174- Judging the American Singer Song (cont’d) Variety Change in general song, intermixture, or succession of different tours and notes pleasing to the ear. Volume Medium is desired, not too loud or too soft. Length The longer the total song the better. Range Capable of wide dynamic range, without becoming thin on the high notes or muddy in the low range. Tone Pleasing tone is desired. No harsh or nasal notes. Tempo Delivery should be slow enough that the song can be understood. Creativity Changes the order of the tours, constantly surprises the listener. Smoothness Showmanship Song should smoothly build up, then taper off, not cut off abruptly or stick on one note for too long. Bird should stand upright and proud at 45 degree angle while singing, no roller “hoop” (horizontal stance). Quality Depth and richness of song notes. Strength Vigor shown in strong song, not necessarily loud, power of endurance. Twenty percent of the score is Confirmation which refers to a wellproportioned body and good, tight plumage. Color is not considered. This means type compared to the ASC Model adopted in 1943. The Model illustrates the American Singer Canary confirmation standard and indicates: Bird length is 5 ¾ inches measured either from top of head to tip of tail, or tip of beak to tip of tail. Angle of bird when not singing is between 35 to 45 degrees from vertical. When singing, the bird should not have the roller hoop. Head - Rounded, not too much dome. Wings - Medium. Beak - Medium. Breast - Rounded and full. Eye - Round, well set. Thigh - Not much showing. Neck/throat - Full song expression. Legs - Medium. Carriage - Lively, alert, fearless. Tail - Medium, close. Shoulder - Pronounced. Feathers - Tight. Back - Rounded, not too flat. Ten percent of the score is Condition which refers to fullness of health, vigor, stamina as well as feather cleanliness, quality and condition. Nails should be trimmed. Also applies to state of cleanliness and proper outfitting of cage. Cages, perches and cups must not be soiled. Standard cage and color, correct number, size and position of perches, clean white paper on cage bottom, etc., are verified.
