canaries from Iran/canários do irão
















Persian Rasmi-fanciers were a branch of canary-fanciers that were fond of breeding persian singer , but they have changed their interest and began to breed Rasmi about 50 years ago . Since that time many affairs have been fulfilled to make a better Rasmi . Rasmi is not bred for its song , it is bred for type . They have different colours but breeders prefer producing white and yellow . They would be showed on 50,30,40 size cages .

After doing extensive research and study about canary breeding and keeping my relations with ornithologists , I decided to put all my theoretical experience and knowledge into practice . Therefore , I began to breed different breeds of canary like Yorkshire, Giboso , Gloster, Gibber , Frill , Rasmi ( Hybrid canary which is bred in Iran ) for 20 years . This short essay about Persian Singer has been written by me with in 2 years , also it is the only essay about Persian Singer which has been written up to now .
Persian Singer and its song ( moghoom ) have become popular in Iran and famous in world . As traditional music is admired and regarded in Iran culture and it is classified into different styles and names ; Moghoom is admired and noticed among canary-fanciers and breeders in Iran . This is the most popular canary song in Iran which is called Moghoom formally and Moghoom colloquially . Moghoom means high rank . Not only Moghoom is popular in Iran , but also it is famous in world and many canary-breeders and fanciers want to distinguish the mystery of dominance and popularity of Moghoom which is song by Persian Singer .
Persian Singer does not belong to a distinct breed but it has got special characteristics that breeders should distinguish them for producing a Persian Singer . It means every breed of canaries with special characteristics can be trained to become a Persian Singer but under special training .
This special training can be effective only on chickens which have got characteristics as follow :Breeders should choose some 24 day old chickens which are separated from their parents which are 3 years old or older . Each of 24 day-old chickens should have short wide body , dense feathery body with faint colour , big head , penetrating and large eyes , broad chest and a small bow-tie shape feather under its throat . Persian Singer should have big head and broad chest to sing Moghoom elegantly and fascinating . You know that people like either shrill or bass song , characteristics which are stated above for Persian Singer can give bass and loud sound to canaries .
After choosing chickens with these characteristics , we put chickens under special training . Special training process has got 2 periods . In first period , choosen chickens should be placed in separate cages on the ground in a silent room , then a full-grown Persian Singer should be placed in a upper position in that room which sing Moghoom completely , then chickens listen to Persian Singer for 3 months . After 3 months , successful chickens which sing Moghoom or near-Moghoom will be separated from unsuccessful ones .

In second period or complementary period , successful chickens and that full-grown persian singer should be placed side by side with covered cages on the ground , it is necessary to put cover on their cages in order to interupt not song of each other . Then canaries will be placed in previous upper position of that full-grown persian singer one by one in order to practice (correct and copy ) Moghoom . Gradually they will become full-grown persian singer . It should be mentioned that some canaries will get more successful than the others in second period .

In many years ago , canary-fanciers took their young persian singer in covered cages for competition to tea-rooms and some different positions were designed on the walls and on the ground for competitions in tea-rooms . In these competitions persian singer competed and professional trainers analysed their songs ; so the best trainer and the best persian singer were chosen and gifted . Modern life has ruined all these tea-rooms and competitions which were held . Nowadays , the number of persian singer breeders have been decreased as a result of changes of life , import of new breeds of canary into Iran and gruelling process of train.
