2004 - Meeting with the Association Bird Feltrina

BIRDS

Marco Garbin, 38, of Pedavena, turns to Gigi home with a parrot for six months, the scientific name Agapornis roseicollis. Gigio climbs on the head, nibbling - like talking - the ear is hidden in the hand of Mark. His wife, Anna, looks fun, little Michael, 8 years old, is on. Gigio è la passione della famiglia, e sta con tutti e tre, Marco, Anna, Michele.

Ci troviamo sulla strada del Canalet, in comune di Pedavena, quella che porta ad Arten e Fonzaso. Marco Garbin fa parte dell’Associazione Ornitologica Feltrina e il presidente, Renzo De Bastiani che abita a Menin di Cesiomaggiore, ci raggiunge di lì a poco. “In provincia”, comincia a raccontare Renzo, “ci sono 200 soci divisi su tre associazioni, la bellunese, la feltrina, la zoldo-longaronese. La feltrina conta da sola 94 soci. Sarebbe meglio avere un’unica associazione provinciale, per una collaborazione più grande e per maggiori possibilità”.

But what do those Ornithological Association? Breeding birds, they exchange among themselves, buy them, sell them. Mark, like Renzo, has created environments where different aviaries for a comfortable habitat. About 120 birds live and breed. "Given these circumstances and provided with food," Mark is talking, "the three times of those birds live in freedom." Enter into an aviary and a small show, just born, still without feathers. Bright eyes to the two lovers. Mentioning the names of actors for the cut throat exotic, zebra finches, Aurora and Gould, for our own the Verdone and Fringilidi, Chaffinch and Brambling, Siskin on the organ, the bullfinch, the Beak Hawfinch, Cardinal. Then other Parrots: Parakeet by the collar from Africa, Australia and the Neophema pulchella, the Ross Common, and Red Pennat, the cockatiels.

and passion, always say, prompting them to a minimum commitment of two hours per day in annual costs between 2,000 and 3,000 €.

This passion, and the tone of regret, is countered with grit. Marco and Renzo show of cards from which it follows a complaint for "reckless purchase. "We went to Vicenza to purchase the subjects ... "he says," The purchase is to read documentation and proof of legitimate origin. All right then. Instead, March 31, 2004 the State Forestry and the Provincial Police have visited a dozen of our farms. In our case, with partner Darius fall, we were denounced as some specimens from Vicenza, still alive, were considered non-regular. The case is pending. The Merchant of Vicenza, meanwhile, was acquitted because the crime does not exist. Instead, in the province of Belluno, we are still under investigation. Among other things, Bullfinch purchased are delicate and difficult to survive. "
