Persian Singer and Moghoom
After doing extensive research and study about canary breeding and keeping
my relations with ornithologists , I decided to put all my theoretical
experience and knowledge into practice . Therefore , I began to breed
different breeds of canary like Yorkshire, Giboso , Gloster, Gibber ,
Frill , Rasmi ( Hybrid canary which is bred in Iran ) for 20 years . This
short essay about Persian Singer has been written by me with in 2 years ,
also it is the only essay about Persian Singer which has been written up
to now .Persian Singer and its
song ( moghoom ) have become popular in Iran and famous in world . As
traditional music is admired and regarded in Iran culture and it is
classified into different styles and names ; Moghoom is admired and
noticed among canary-fanciers and breeders in Iran . This is the most
popular canary song in Iran which is called Moghoom formally and Moghoom
colloquially . Moghoom means high
rank . Not only Moghoom is popular in
Iran , but also it is famous in world and many canary-breeders and
fanciers want to distinguish the mystery of dominance and popularity of
Moghoom which is song by Persian Singer .
Persian Singer does not belong to a
distinct breed but it has got special characteristics that breeders should
distinguish them for producing a Persian Singer . It means every breed of
canaries with special characteristics can be trained to become a Persian
Singer but under special training .
This special training can be effective
only on chickens which have got characteristics as follow :
Breeders should choose some 24 day old chickens which are separated from
their parents which are 3 years old or older . Each of 24 day-old chickens
should have short wide body , dense feathery body with faint colour , big
head , penetrating and large eyes , broad chest and a small bow-tie shape
feather under its throat . Persian Singer should have big head and broad
chest to sing Moghoom elegantly and fascinating . You know that people
like either shrill or bass song , characteristics which are stated above
for Persian Singer can give bass and loud sound to canaries .
After choosing chickens with these
characteristics , we put chickens under special training
. Special training process has got 2 periods . In first period , choosen
chickens should be placed in separate cages on the ground in a silent room
, then a full-grown Persian Singer should be placed in a upper position in
that room which sing Moghoom completely , then chickens listen to Persian
Singer for 3 months . After 3 months , successful chickens which sing
Moghoom or near-Moghoom will be separated from unsuccessful ones .
In second period or complementary period ,
successful chickens and that full-grown persian singer should be placed
side by side with covered cages on the ground , it is necessary to put
cover on their cages in order to interupt not song of each other . Then
canaries will be placed in previous upper position of that full-grown
persian singer one by one in order to practice (correct and copy ) Moghoom
. Gradually they will become full-grown persian singer . It should be
mentioned that some canaries will get more successful than the others in
second period .
In many years ago , canary-fanciers took
their young persian singer in covered cages for competition to tea-rooms
and some different positions were designed on the walls and on the ground
for competitions in tea-rooms . In these competitions persian singer
competed and professional trainers analysed their songs ; so the best
trainer and the best persian singer were chosen and gifted . Modern life
has ruined all these tea-rooms and competitions which were held . Nowadays
, the number of persian singer breeders have been decreased as a result of
changes of life , import of new breeds of canary into Iran and gruelling
process of train. |
