1,753 birds will be present at the XVII Ornithological Championship of the Canary Islands.
The Ornithological Association of Fuerteventura has started today the XVII Ornithological Championship of the Canary Islands, which is held until this Sunday, December 13, at the Experimental Farm of Pozo Negro. A total of 1,753 birds from all over the Canary Islands will be present on display.
It is a regional competition with the participation of breeders from all the islands. The copies will be judged and scored by judges awarded for each specialty. The enclosure of the Experimental Farm of Pozo Negro will also have information stands aimed at all lovers of the sector.
According to the Ornithological Association of Fuerteventura, the objective is to give impetus to canariculture on the island, with breeders who have been awarded regionally, nationally and even worldwide.
The event is co-organized by the Ornithological Association of Fuerteventura and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, directed by David de Vera, with the collaboration of the Presidency of theCabildo de Fuerteventura, and the municipalities of Puerto del Rosario and Antigua.
Likewise, the Ministry of Environmental Sustainability, coordinated byLola García, collaborates with an information stand in which the most unique wild birds of Fuerteventura such as the hubara, the Saharan corridor or the majorera owl are represented. Their habitats are also represented, through a photographic exhibition.
In addition, the Ministry of Environmental Sustainability distributes among those present some guides for all lovers of ornithology with a description of the most representative species and a file that will be useful for bird watching on the island.
The stand also mentions the work carried out by the Ministry of Environmental Sustainability to conserve the birds of Fuerteventura, with actions to condition water ponds and plant crops to provide steppe species with food and rest. Among the species benefited is the hubara, whose populations are in the process of regression.
Projects are developed for the preservation of the Canarian guirre, with captive breeding in the Biological Station of La Oliva or the maintenance and management of supplementary feeding points or muladares of scavenger birds such as the Canarian guirre. Some actions that are part of the Life Egyptian Vulture Project project for the monitoring of the guirre population.
