Waterslager Canary Items for Sale

B. Peleman is not the father of the waterslager (there is one travel account written in the early 1700’s which mentions the already watery voice of the canaries in the neighborhood of Malines, Belgium), yet he certainly ranks among the most important evangelists of the modern version of this song breed. The body of his writings has been foundational to all later works and has, a strong argument may be made, served as the single best source of information ever produced on the waterslager song canary, and he should be seen as a pioneer in the dissemination of accurate information on this truly miraculous songster.

At this point, many generations of waterslager breeders and admirers have profited from his vast wisdom and experience. His work serves as a sound base for what has come since. In fact, as the editors have pointed out in their preface, Peleman’s words are still important and accurate, and they can serve as a theoretical basis for both further study and practice.

His importance to our own small successes when it comes to breeding and training good quality waterslagers of typical song cannot be overestimated, for the wisdom he freely shared has become part of the body of knowledge passed from one generation of breeders to the next across many decades and international boundaries.

The English translation seeks to keep the integrity of the original wording and intent.
