Oakland International Roller Canary Club

Established 1923


Yes, we are back online again after a brief interruption. Thank you for your patience and pardon our "dust" as we add some final touches to the site.  Please bookmark our new address as we should be here a while.

Club Objectives:

  1. To develop and advance the Roller Canary fancy.
  2. To create a better understanding of, and demand for the Roller Canary.
  3. To encourage members in scientific breeding.
  4. To hold a song contest annually at which birds raised and owned by club members and non-members can be adjudicated by an official Judge. The 100 point song standard shall be used.
  5. To promote the welfare and prosperity of the club.

 

 
The votes are in and we have won the Golden Web Award!  This is a yearly award bestowed upon us by the International Association of Web Masters & Designers: "In recognition of creativity, integrity and excellence on the Web."  Wow!

OIRCC Roller Canary Forum:

The Roller Canary Forum is published by the Oakland International Roller Canary Club to improve the advancement, breeding, and exhibition of German Roller Canaries. Hopefully it will encourage the promotion of the fancy and instruct our members who are not able to attend our regular monthly meetings. The opinions of the writers do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Club nor its officers. We encourage all members and readers to feel free to send in comments, questions, and any articles they would like to see printed. Judges, Master Breeders, Champion, Amateur, and Novice Breeders of Roller Canaries are cordially asked to contribute articles for publication. Please send us your ideas, articles, questions, comments, or criticism about the content provided in our Web site and in our Roller Canary Forum to jpagrella@earthlink.net (He is our editor).

Like what you see on our website?  Why not recommend it to a friend?


The material shown in this web site may not necessarily reflect the views of the Club Officers or members of the Club. We want to provide a non-judgmental vehicle for free expression of individual views and experiences in the Roller Canary fancy. We may learn from information with which we may disagree. There are many ways to raise Canaries that work, some better than others. The bottom line is to enjoy the birds as we work to produce the healthiest and most pleasant sounding birds we can. We encourage your questions and comments.
