GOULD DIAMOND

The diamond of Gould, than from some authors comes ascribed to the
Poephila kind, without some beautiful doubt one of devout the
species of existing birds. This described diamond for before the
time in the 1844 from celebre the painter and ornithologist John
Gould. It is demonstrated much demanding as far as temperature and
it goes perci maintained of preference in flights was from apartment
or in one greenhouse-voliera. The ideal temperature around the 20;
absolutely indispensable that does not take place thermal jolts and
that umidit the relative dell.aria is always rather low. The feeding
must be formed from scagliola, mile white man, panic and niger in
equal parts.
In the riproduttivo period it goes supplied to the
birds the animal food all.uovo and some proteico food of animal
origin. Indispensable they are revealed knows them mineral, supplied
under shape of egg shell sterilizes to you, old bones of small
cuttlefish and calcinacci, and also the vitaminici integrators. In
the winter months some breeders somministrano once to the week the
oil of cod liver; many profits turn out also the seeds germinate to
you and very it washes to you. The diamond of Gould stretches
unfortunately in cattivit maintaining riproduttiva the chronology
austral and therefore to nest European nell.autunno-winter. The
material construction to supply the birds must be much varied poich
every manifest individual of the own preferences. Some braces
imbottiscono too much highly summarizedly the nest and therefore
must take part the breeder. The brooded one comprises quite of usual
from 4 to 8 eggs (in some case until to 12) of 17 X 13 milimeter
that i parents brood to turn for 14-16 days. The small abandon the
nest after 22-24 days and become self-sufficient people to 35-45 ET
days Some females demonstrate riproduttrici bad ones: it becomes
therefore necessary to entrust eggs and small to braces of sparrows
of Japan that act as from nannies.
Me stancher never not to continue to repeat to
all the breeders of exotic who the breeding through deleterious and
counter-productive the aid of nannies for the safeguard of the
health and rusticit of all the birds that give they come it raises
to you.
Same I have had way to propose, and in future
rifaring, a Course of Ornithology for the elementary schools of my
zone. One of the fundamental points in order to attract the
attention of the teacher and the familiar ones be that one to
evidence two important aspects a lot of ours attivit.
This maintenance of the integrit of the species
is only carried out with the breeding in cattivit without the aid of
nannies.
It is not misinterpreted to me, are not
absolutely a fanatical protezionista, indeed, they are favorable to
the breeding in cattivit of many birds, even if, effectively,
regulation to ours must place one attivit, sure one exasperated
regulation much less and incomprensibile one than that one that vige
currently in Italy.
In the first place the necessit to maintain
there the tendency of the Gould lives to raise independently. With
the exasperated one I use of the nannies, provokes in fact an
unavoidable worsening of the capacit of breeding of the subjects,
worsening that pu to be provoked from various factors like as an
example the fact that the Gould they have been "impintati" from
the Sparrows of Japan that could interfere with they in the attivit
riproduttiva. If the breeding in purity wants itself to be tried it
would be much profit to remove all the Sparrows of Japan from the
breeding in such way that do not interfere minimally with the
attivit riproduttiva of the Gould. An other cause of the
lessening of the capacit to raise could be a progressive
debilitamento caused from the secretion lack particular of the gozzo
that only the conspecifici of the Gould possess and that the
Sparrows cannot supply (principles nourished to you, antibodies).
Consequently the Gould raises you from the Sparrows is tendentially
devout small, devout weak people and devout subjects to the diseases
and the avversit climatic. Problems with the Gould cos raise are
manifested to you generally in the period of the dumb one where such
birds to times muoino. The Gould raises to you from the parents has
many devout ones probabilit to exceed such critical period. I have
noticed that dumb the much fast one and does not introduce problems,
to part moreover rare cases, in all those subjects raises to you
from the own parents.
I me stancher never not to repeat that the Gould
Diamonds are not Mandarin, they are with the exception of these, a
po' devout demanding. Pu not to expect itself to obtain succeeded
with the Gould without a corrected lodging and a healthy one and it
completes feeding. For having a high percentage of successes
necessary to lodge the Gould in cages preferibilmente from 60 cm
(even if I use 45 cm). The Gould must preventively be prepares to
you in the dry sense that, after an taken care of selection of the
subjects and after to have discarded all those abulici, go begun the
somministrazione of a rich feeding, constituted from a normal
mixture, only containing mile white man, panic, scagliola and
nothing other, and from a pastoncino (absolutely not humid), stirred
to seeds softens to you or also it germinates, having cure to change
them every day to you. Beyond to this fortifying and of the vitamin
equips and, that it would have in theory to favor the reproduction.
If the possibilit is had of leggermente infrascare the cages in
prossimit of the nest, the possibilit of happening increases
remarkablly. The grit does not have to never lack.
When the braces arrive to the deposition, it
would have endured to understand if these are good or not. Generally
the braces that brood assiduously have devout probabilit to raise.
In the case such braces however do not raise the prole hardly NATO,
it is provided to make "alternatively to turn novels" under the nest
of a brace of Sparrows or other Gould that they raise and to leave
always some small in the nest of the brace that it obviously does
not raise (after avergli made to receive some imbeccata from other
birds). This method of "spin" of novels sortisce to the end, the
second or third day, the wished effect, in the sense that the Gould
would have to begin to feeding their novels. E' much difficult one
that the Gould abandons the brood when the novels gi are impiumati.
E' instead possible (for who raises in Winter), than if the nest not
adequately isolated thermally or if in novels is little, than the
parents they abandon, like of norm, the nest to seven - eight days,
without moreover to stop of feeding the small. If it happens cos the
small for they cool and they die.
The weaning would have to be carried out around
the 50 life day. The Gould begins to being independent and
independently to feed a lot soon regarding the others ucccelli
(obviously if it raises to you in purity).

For who then it wanted to try the breeding to
the outside in the primaverile period, the things would have to work
still better if the birds are lodge to you in repaired cages or
volierette from infrascate 120 cm and with the somministrazione of
the feeding previously described. The reproduction in the
primaverile period would be the ideal in our zones. Not creed in
fact that the Gould is cos weak people like usual to define them.
They resist well to the summery thunderstorms and can calmly be only
leave you the outside (if previously it accustoms to you) in the
period that goes from May to September. My Gould that currently they
are to the outside, enjoys optimal health, to the contrary of when I
held them in the local breeding where they seemed to suffer being
always a po' abulici. Moreover their voice appears clear and clear
to the contrary of some times when they seem not to succeed to sing,
perhaps devout for one particular delicacy of the aerial ways rather
than for the feared respiratory acarus. When a Gould comes noticed
while "pipette", endured it is believed that it is affection from
the respiratory acarus, and due to other pathogenic agents is not
believed to an eventual pathology. One what that I have noticed the
particular one sensibilit of the aerial ways of such ucceli to the
powder, would not be therefore impossible one they eventual shape
asthmatic when they are found in premises to the closed one, the
contrary us that it happens when they are found again to the pure
air of the external atmosphere.
After all these are some personal councils in
order to try to obtain the breeding in purity of these wonderful
birds. For recorded, who raises with not amatoriali scopes such
species, best that lasci to lose this type of breeding, perch would
go encounter to great economic disappointments sure.
For last I would want to finish saying that the
term "purity" the correct word in order not to define the
breeding without the aid of nannies.
