AMERICAS BIRD MARKET.
About 100000 Canaries Handled
Every Year.
Songsters Shipped from Germany--How
the Birds Are Raised By Peas
ants in Hanover and the
Harz Mountains,


the Birds Are Raised By Peas
ants in Hanover and the
Harz Mountains.
The United States affords the mos t
gated in Germany. In that country the
business of raising these feathered song
sters for export is very important one,
as is shown by report on the subject
newly received by the Department OF
State. For more than a century it has
rendered bare existence possibility to
many poor people. Fifty years ago it
had already grown to such dimensions
that it became necessary to seek a
foreign outlet for the trade. About
1850 the German dealers began making
shipments TO this city. and finally they
turned their attention chiefly to the
United States, the demand from this
side of the water having become very
great. During the last year canary
birds were third in money value among
the articles exported to the United
States from Hanover.
The Breeding of Canary Birds.
The breeding of canary birds in Ger
many is mainly house industry Of poor
and needy people. Their profit is of
course small, but to the poor who can
hardly earn daily bread their bird cages
are like little savings banks, from which
they can draw at regular intervals a
trife that, added to their other earnings,
6r ho
need of such assistance and the useful
ness of the industry to the poor cannot
be appreciated fully by any one up-
acquainted with the German peasant in
his home. A single example may per-
haps throw light on the subject The
village tailor at Fuhrberg in the pro-
vince of Hanover, works from house to
house, and receives for his services LAO
marks per diem. This sum is equivalent
to about SO 1-2 cents.
If, therefore, he works 300 days In the
year he earns 800. From this amount
S16 &C must be deducted for rent. This
leaves him $S3. 81 with which to support
and clothe his family, consisting of six
persons, for one year. His earnings,
therefore, amount to less than four cents
per diem for each member of his family.
The canary bird industry, without max
ing any serious claims upon the peas
ants time or care, cheers his home and
brings him a modest profit. Having in
the summer raised brood of young
birds he awaits with anxiety the visit OF
the dealer in the autumn which will
place in his hands money to help him
through the winter.

Principal Seat of the Industry.

The principal seat of the industry was
formerly the Harz mountains, where the
poor mountaineers, engaged chiefly in
mining and numbering, were in great
need. Almost every family had in the
sitting room, in the bed room or in the
garnet breeding place for birds. In the
summer the food necessary for the birds
was easily obtainable, and before the
winter came the dealer had purchas ed
them. After the Harz mountains be-
came frequented by visitors DESTROYS of
improving their health in the pure air,
the poverty of the mountain GERS was di-
minished and the canary bird industry
fell off more and more.
At present only fine singers are bred
in the Harz, and for these the dealer
must pay high price. The industry
was then transferred to Eichsfelde, in
the province of Hanover, where there
are many very poor weavers. Nearly all
of these are now engaged in the breed
ing of the cheaper variety of canary
birds. The industry exists also in the
poorer districts of Hesse, in the great
Luneburg Moor, in parts of WesUphalia
and among the Sudetic mountains in
Saxonv. In recent years large numbers
lave been raised in the cities, chiefly as
pastime, by thoughtless persons who
do not consider what such competition
means to the hungry peasant. About
$50, 900 canary birds are raised every
year in Germany.
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1892-07-23
The Bird Markets.


First in Importance is the market Of
the United States, which takes in round
numbers 100, 900 birds per annum. Next
is the English market, which takes
about $4,000 per annum. Then comes
Brazil, Chilli, the Argentine Republic
and Australia. To these countries sales
men are sent with canary birds every
year. The rest, especially the fl ner
Harz birds, are sold in Germany, where
more weight is given to fineness of song
and where higher prices can be obtain
ed than anywhere else. The average
price for ordinary canary birds is from
sixty to eighty cents for males. Hence
the canary bird industry adds about
1000, 900 marks year to Germany's
national wealth, aud this amount goes
chiefly into the hands of the poorest
class.
The growth of this industry is due to
TWO causes. The German bird dealers
have always been very enterprising and
the canary birds raised in Germany are
said to sing better than any others.
While very beautiful birds are raised in
England, in song they are surpassed by
the German canaries German dealers
claim that canary birds bred from i'm
ported parents in the United States are
poor singers owing to the warmth Of
our climate.
A Big Bird Dealer.
About two-thIrds of the 100, 900
canary birds exported annually from
Germany to the United States are i'm
ported by a German resident of New
York city. At Braunlage, in the HarZ,
this man has q factory which is capable
OF turning out every day the material
for 200 bird cages. Ii is given out to
peasants, who make the cages at home.
The birds are shipped to this city via
Bremen. accompanied by attendants.
Each attendant has under his care about
one thousand birds, each in its wooden
cage. AS each bird must be fed and
cared for regularly, the attendants ara
kept busily employed. One of these at
tendants has already crossed the ocean
more than hundred times in charge OF
birds. There are thirty such employees
The local house iisposes OF these birds
the finest OF them being the Andreas-
berger Harz canaries-in New Orleans,
Charleston, San Francisco and other
American cities, as well SIS in Canada
Moreover, buyers are sent throughout
the United States to obtain American
birds and animals, and also TO Mexico
and Cuba for parrots. These ara
brought 70 Germany bv the canary at
tendants upon their return. In This
manner this sane person annually i'm
ports into Germany from the Uaited
States about 1900 yirrinia ard n Al
