CANARIES 



The Green Norwich. 



These birds are being extensively bred to-day. The 

 remarks on breeding for type and quality apply to them 

 as to the other Norwich varieties. My readers are 

 referred to the chapter on Yorkshire Greens for other 

 information. The standard reads : — 



Colour : Rich, deep, grass green, sound and 



level throughout ; beak, feet and 



legs dark . . . . . . . . 35

N.B. — Light beak, legs, or feet, are not a disquahfica- 

 tion, but count against a bird according to their extent.
