TOMARU'
The baritone voice of the avian choir.
The Tomaru is very likely the ancestorial parent
or a part of the ancestory of the Kurogashiwa and the similarities are evident.
Where the line of demarkation begins is in the voice and then in the form.
The Tomaru' may have a few long main sickles, but is not a pronounced long-tailed
breed. It's voice, however, is one of the most beautiful amoung the Longcrowers.
Click on the .wav file below to hear for yourself. This particular rooster
has both the 2-tone call and the "Schnork" at the end of his song
- two factors of high value in the Tomaru's song. At the bottom of the page
is also a .mov file from an unknown author from Japan. Please have a look!
This shot is of my own birds just before they
accompanied me back from the German birthplace, and what a proud owner I
was / am!! This line not only hase a beautiful voice, but also a magnificent
form with a full and proud tail held in a squirrel-like position.
