Keeping Records
	Keeping accurate records is critical in devloping your line of American singers.  Your records need not be fancy.  While computerized data bases can be purchased most breeders keep their records quite successfully on paper.  The most basic form of necessary data is that which records the activities of each mated pair.  You'll want to keep track of their band numbers, clutch histories and offspring.  Then for quick reference, most breeders keep a roster of hatches for the year showing band numbers of the offpring, hatch dates and their parentage.  We have provided PDF versions of these two main record forms below.  Click on the hypertext to obtain the record you want.  Store them by year in a Three-Ring Binder and you'll have all the information you need to keep track of your canary breeding activities. PAIR HISTORY -- Provides spaces to record all pertinent info about a specific mated pair.  HATCH ROSTER -- Provides spaces to record all necessary data about your hatchlings.
