THE ENGLISH LONG-FACED TUMBLER Peter Leijten from Oss
tells us about his favourite breed, the English Long-Faced Tumbler. The
thing that attracted him most, when he first saw the Long-Faced Tumblers,
was the overall type, nice deep stance, slightly backwards arched neck
and great head shape that appeared around on all sides. By : Peter Leijten (NL) 13 pages - 910 kB

BEARDED POLANDS OR PADUANS rare, but very attractive In the former issue of Aviculture
Europe (December 2014) I wrote about the non-bearded Polands, which I
called ‘Crested Dutch’. This time I will write on the bearded Polands
which I will call ‘Paduans’. The Paduan is a special bird, docile and
gentle by character. Only the crest and beard require some special attention.
A breed that could use many more breeders. By

KEEPING MUSCOVY DUCKS The domesticated Muscovy Ducks have
become much heavier than their wild ancester and especially have lost
much of their ability to fly. The ducks have retained their preference
to nest in holes and cavities, and each offered nesting that imitates
such a space, is happily used. By : Norbert Schollaert
