Existe una especie dentro del género serinus que se ha venido llamando por algunos aficionados Gran Mozambique, sin embargo es una especie muy diferente a nuestro pequeño canario de frente amarilla. Su nombre científico es Serinus sulphuratus , en alguna guías y artículos le denominan canario sulfúreo.
Recientemente me he hecho de una "pareja" de esta especie, adquirida en una feria ornitológica a un importador, es cual me dijo que se trataba de un macho y una hembra de una subespecie de un tamaño ligeramente inferior a otras. El dimorfismo sexual no es evidente, aunque se aprecian diferencias entre ambos ejemplares que hacen pensar que efectivamente estamos with a partner.
This is the male:
The first impression given this bird is that this is a common bunting a strange color, size, and closely resembles the behavior of this species. Let
chest:
yellow is presented full and relatively strong, although this issue is still scruffy plumage at the time of purchase (in mid-December), both specimens were very plucked. Let's look back
:
The back is green and yellow denotes lipochrome down the back. On the sides of the head are seen yellow cheeks, typical of males.
Consider the "female"
At first glance, seen a paler yellow on the beak and brow, the cheeks are paler and smaller.
The back is brown, reminiscent of the female Greenfinch also in that respect. Let
chest:
It shows a paler yellow under the peak, but are quite similar as can be seen.
This bird has a very calm temperament, does not have the mobility to be seen in the wild canary or the canary in Mozambique. Her song I have not heard yet, so outgoing calls and chirps emitted by the same two individuals.
Your alimentaciión consisted of a mixture of canary reinforced where they ate with great enthusiasm the more fat and large seeds such as hemp. After a smooth transition are eating Legazín think F1, so far seems appropriate because it shows a healthy stomach and vigor and joy in the right bird.
Let's see if it is confirmed that they are partners and are in heat this spring.
keep you informed.
