THE SPANISH TIMBRADO SONG CANARY: A CONCISE GUIDE 

Canary book and CD set about my favorite bird, the Spanish Timbrado Canary. 

This book set billed as a conscise guide, but is much more. 

Detailed analysis of the Timbrado song, Timbre floredo, classico, intermdiate and discontinuous. 

It's husbandry and geneics. Many of my best singers are from Dr. Hurtados birds.   

The judging score and song tour  information of the United Spanish Timbrado  Fanciers inc. of which the Doctor is an officer and I am a member.

The Cd has quite alot of very clear information garnered from this Veterinarian and bird expert.


The last 2 photos are mine. 

They are  offspring we at North Fork Pets And Antiques produced from some of Dr Hurtado's fine canaries. 

Birds occasionally available and can be shipped.
