The German author Norbert E. W. Schramm has kept and bred a wide variety of bird species since his earliest youth.
Since 1974 he has been a member of a traditional Dresden breeders' association and began breeding colour and posture canaries.
With the experimental breeding of many canary breeds and carduelid species he acquired extensive specialist knowledge.
His publications on the colouring of birds and the scientific presentation of canary colours developed from them made him well-known among experts.
Since 1985 he has been a trained judge for colour and posture canaries, carduelids, finch hybrids and later also for European birds. His publications in specialist journals and his previous books on the breeding and keeping of canaries have made him well known in specialist circles. He thus makes his knowledge available to all interested bird lovers.
