Information about
 |
The Fiorino is the
youngest member of the frill family of canaries. It was
created in Italy in the late 1970’s. I first observed it
during a visit with a friend, Dr. Umberto Zingoini. Dr.
Zingoni has been one of Italy’s champion breeders for over 50
years. He is the leading authority on F.O.I., frill and other
old variety canaries in Italy.
