The Spanish Song Canary Discontinuous
Between the late forties and early fifties of XX century, based on the undefined canary Country ¹, which despite its mythologizing it was still more than the common canary bred in Spain, began to work towards achieving a canary singing that was representative of the national canaricultura. While the goal was one, there were two ways to get elected, roads, far from converging, eventually were separated more and more, to the point that resulted in exactly the opposite edge models.
In F.O.E., hand mainly Garrido, Serrano, Crespo, Pulido and Lacomba, we selected a metal song canary, cheerful, varied repertoire and stereotyped, prioritizing the issue of limited phonetic text turns easily identifiable among highlighting the rings, the CHAU and PIAU, considered basic and hereditary and that gave great homogeneity to all copies. As the basis for this type of song canary were the timbres was called Spanish Timbrado.
Parallel to this work, the group Birds of the National Union of Livestock, took place quite another aimed at the achievement of a song based on the continuous rhythm tours phonetic text not unlimited, advocated, not only primary, by Drove , Ruiz, Rico, Perez Manso, Ecalle and Bouzo, highlighting canaries looking for her acting skills and whose song was valued more for their skills and musical excellence. These authors called their canary Song Spanish or Spanish Singer, whose referent bred canaries were true earlier in the century in some Catalan regions, mainly in the area of Vic, and there were only references Drove the idealized until rediscovered in Asturias . These canaries Asturian-fifties, which were gradually spreading throughout the Spanish territory, is the source of current Spanish Song canaries discontinuous.
Our thanks and appreciation to the breeders Asturian-fifties, without which I could not understand the modern Spanish Song Canary Discontinuous.
In 2008 a large group of breeders belonging to FOCVA, begin the process of recognition, nationally, as a new breed of Spanish Song Canary Discontinuous. On December 4, 2010 this process culminated in the official national recognition of Spanish Song Canary Discontinuous, thus becoming the second Spanish race of song canaries. Based on this recognition, the process starts worldwide recognition, a process that is currently.

¹ The canary country was, supposedly, and they believed the canaricultores of the time, the direct descendant of the first pure wild canaries bred in captivity in Spain, so it was assumed that their genotype and phenotype were closest to their wild ancestor , however, it is impossible to speak of canaries such as to constitute a race, as canaries Country lacking the phenotypic homogeneity roughly characterizes selected and fixed races, at least in regard to singing, as in Barcelona in the 30s of XX century competitions were held on the variety of the country, although in the form of position (origin of the present Canarian Spanish Breed).
Spanish Country canary emerged, either by choice or by crossing with foreign breeds, wild canaries and even through hybridization with greenfinches, various races, although some of them have not been recognized until recently. So, if we read the articles of the time, references in books canaricultura, Spanish and foreign crossings and that speak to them, see that the origin of mixed Spanish Breed canaries (Cataluña), the Timbrado (Madrid), the Spanish Jarback (Sevilla), the Roan and Larguillo Tinerfeño (Valencia). Although the Spanish Canary Canto Discontinuous always been covered by the standard of Timbrado, our song canary based on non-continuous rhythms emerged around the same time that Timbrado in parallel and independently, in Asturias.
