The origin of the various breeds of canaries is more or less known. Since wild canary come from the Canary Islands, Spain, Madeira and Azores, Portugal, it is strange that there are some varieties of canaries English, Spanish, French, Italian, Belgian, Swiss, German and even Japanese and American, and has emerged over centuries a Portuguese breed of canaries.

As a child Armando Moreno attended fairs for the sale of birds and Poudou observe how the Portuguese breeders remained faithful to canary rustic, variegated, in which the melanin lipochrome and merge, long before the international organizations have established rigid division between melanin and lipochrome that is, of course, a division artificial, although logical and acceptable.

Variegated birds were of two types: either green or yellow and gray and white. The past 15 years has seen the emergence of these fairs birds with a mixture of gray with orange, bronze, white, yellow, birds of great beauty and body structure, vivacity of expression and joy of singing, and a high roughness. Decided, therefore, cultivate this kind of canaries. Careful examination allowed him to observe life, and these colors, the brown back, which does not take the background color of orange and black rods. Thus, these animals have a total of 6 colors.

GENERAL

The Portuguese Arlequim Canary is essentially a canary design, polychrome, lively, rustic, lively, keeping the tradition of the variety of design, which has always existed in the ancestors created by fowlers. The requirements of the procurement and the desire to lead the race sophisticated, both in size, or the singing, or in color, led to disappearance of the canary alive and happy that is created between lovers the animal itself and that captivated people in general who wanted only take home a canary to sing.

Many of the animals highly classified today's birds are sad, deformed, we would almost crippled, if not doomed to enclosure in tiny cages, living in the dark, which leads to soft corner said that actually, more like a sad song. Reacting this situation, farmers selected the Spanish Letterhead of vibrant voice, but did not attend, this canary, the plumage.

It's amusing that some breeds of canaries betray the significantly the character of the people who created them: the fizz Paris seems to contain in itself a dancer in Can-Can. In turn Yorkshire is the distinction of the English lord. The German resembles the Harz canary, the result of strict discipline, taken in schools aligned, as the elements of an army. The Letterhead reflects the Spanish folk, with their castanets.

In Portugal, owing to the characteristics of the population, rustic, resistant to racism and, in contrast, more given the fusion of races, we created a canary multiple colors, lively, joyful. It is the Portuguese Arlequim Canary.

It should be noted that this race to a variety of designs that make its creation by the unexpected and fascinating prevents the monotony of other breeds of color printing where exposures are presented hundreds of birds all the same, with minor differences, only recognizable by specialists.
