Towards the end of the 15th century, after the conquest of the Canary Islands, the Spaniards brought the first native wild canaries to the mainland.<\/p>\n

The Spanish monks in particular liked the pretty birds, as they began breeding canaries shortly afterwards. They traded extensively, but only sold canaries to Italy, France and England, which meant that they could not be bred there. This meant that foreign nations were always dependent on supplies from the Spanish bird breeders.<\/p>\n
The canary was considered a luxury item and was very expensive. Rich ladies used to keep canaries in splendid cages.<\/p>\n
Sometime in the 16th century, the Italians and English managed to obtain female canaries and start their own breeding programme. It is not known how they got hold of the hens. In the 17th century, the canary was also bred in Tyrol, Switzerland, Holland and Germany.<\/p>\n
Through centuries of breeding, magnificent colour mutations have been bred from the original yellow-green bird.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Breeding focussed on the beauty of the song and the plumage. For a while, \"coiffed\" canaries with curly plumage were fashionable. Unfortunately, the bird's ability to sing was usually lost in such breeds. During the Rococo period, crested canaries were bred, i.e. birds with a feathered cap or ruff, as well as birds with a raised stature and unnatural wing position. However, these birds were less popular as their singing, which had previously been achieved with great effort, suffered as a result.<\/p>\n
Breeding of the world-famous Harz Roller began at the beginning of the 19th century, when the canary was brought to the Harz via Tyrol.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
