FEATURE
The Modern Border STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
The first two essentials of a Border Fancy Canary are type and quality. The general appearance is that of a clean cut, compact, proportional, close
feathered canary, showing no tendency to heaviness, roughness or dullness, but giving the impression of fine quality and symmetry throughout.
Position & Carriage Gay, jaunty, with full poise of the head standing at an ideal angle of 60 degrees.
Body: The profile when viewed to the side will have a well

filled and rounded body showing no heaviness with a curve to the chest and back in harmony running in a straight downward curve to the root of the tail. Viewed from above the shoulders shall be in balance with the depth of body showing a nicely rounded bird from all angles. Splits in the chest feathering to be avoided.
Colour: Rich, soft and pure, as level in tint as possible
throughout, but extreme depth and hardness such as colour feeding gives are debarred. Any exhibit showing the effects of colour feeding will be disqualified.
Head & Neck: Head, well rounded and neat when viewed from any
angle, beak fine, eyes clear and positioned to rest on an imaginary line drawn as an extension to the line between the upper and lower mandible of the beak, very slightly forward of a central point of the head. Neck in keeping with the head, showing a distinguishing break between head and shoulder. The size of the head should be in balance with the body. Cuts or openings in the feathering between the head and the body should be avoided.
Wings: Compact and carried close to the body, covering
the back, with a full compliment of primary and secondary flight feathers meeting at the tips. Outer flight tips to meet at the root of the tail. Primaries and secondaries to be pointed.
