The German Canaries and Bird Breeders Association (DKB) is an umbrella organization for bird breeders founded in 1947 .

The registered association emerged from the Association of German Canary Breeders Association , the Reich Association of German Canary Breeders and the Reich Student Council of German Canary Breeders. This non-profit association looks after the lovers and breeders of canaries as well as breeders of budgies, finches, large parakeets and other exotic birds. In addition to the promotion of canaries and bird breeding in general, great attention is also paid to the protection of birds, nature and the environment. In addition, there are the tasks of promoting the breeding of canaries, looking after and advising members, awakening interest in keeping and breeding birds, monitoring and carrying out uniform assessments and organizing joint championships for all breeding directions. The DKB issues its own officially recognized foot rings for its members.

Special specialist groups have been formed as sub-groups for technical support, and each specialist group has its own judges' association.

- Specialist group singing, singing color, singing position canaries and water hammer

- Specialist group color and posture canaries

- Section for mixed race and carduelids

- Parakeets and Exotics Section

It is divided into 32 regional associations, for whose members exhibitions and championships are organized on a regular basis, in which the most beautiful birds are exhibited and awarded. The German DKB Championship takes place annually on the first weekend in January. In Germany, the club is number two (according to members) within the breeding associations.

In order to be able to contribute to internationally recognized breeding standards, the association is a member of the Confédération Ornithologique Mondiale and the European Association for Poultry, Pigeon, Bird, Rabbit and Cavia Breeding . This also enables individual breeders to participate in international competitions.

The regional associations of the DKB are:

  1. Badischer Canary Breeders Association
  2. Bavarian regional association
  3. Bergischer Canary Breeders Association
  4. Canary Breeders Association Rhein-Main
  5. Landesverband Niedersachsen u. Bremen
  6. Rhenish Canary Breeders Association
  7. Lower Rhine regional association
  8. North German Association
  9. Black Forest regional association
  10. Württembergischer Canary Breeder Vbd.

  12. Upper Hessian Canary Breeders Association
  13. West German Canary Breeders Association
  14. Association of Canary Breeders Rhine-Palatinate
  15. National association of canary breeders from Kurhessen and Waldeck eV
  16. Ruhr-Lower Rhine Association
  17. Association Berlin-Brandenburg
  18. Westphalian-Lippe Association
  19. Regional association Rhein-Wied
  20. Ruhrverband

  23. Regional association Münsterland-Emsland
  24. Association of Saarland Bird Breeders eV
  25. Vogelzuchtverband Südbaden
  26. Sauerland Association
  27. Niers-Schwalmtal Association
  28. Westmünsterland Association
  29. Thuringian Bird Breeders Association
  30. Saxon Canary Breeders Association
  31. State Association of Saxony-Anhalt
  32. Landesverband Bayern-Süd eV

These regional associations are the direct members of the DKB; a single breeder is organized through the local bird club, which is in one of the 32 LV. Most regional associations also maintain an "association of individual members" - usually grouped under the number 99. There is an opportunity here to join directly and without a local club.

Criticism: The specialist group mixed breeds and carduelids is under criticism from conservationists and nature conservationists. In modern times there should be targeted and conscious breeding of half-breeds in the interests of species protection.

Remarks

  1. ↑ As an umbrella organization, direct membership in the DKB is not possible, the regional associations are members and the indirect member is involved in the DKB through this.
  2. ↑ There is no evidence of the number of members in the regional associations.
