  Yoz must be trained for flight as they start to get rid of their baby feathers. There can be some with flight if they are trained late. They get out of shape very easly. Yoz fly in kits and do not go to high altitudes. There is no stadard number of birds for kits. For this breed to land on another loft or get confused is not possible.

Yoz is know to be very sensitive and it is important to pay close attention while pairing. Othervise it can be impossible for you to pair them with a new mate. Once separated from its mate it would be very difficult for Yoz to accept another mate.

  To shorten the beaks of many different breeds for many years Yoz has been exported from Denizli. Especially to Istanbul. This almost extinct breed demands some very high prices today. They are bred only in two lofts.

When sold to another loft or for some very strange reson captured yoz will loose all its liveliness, hide in one corner, stay away from possible mates and only eat as much to not to die. This is one of the reasons for Yoz to reduce in numbers. There are many stories and memories about this breed. You can find these stories and memories at the bottom of this page

Documanted Yoz history in Denizli is 200-250 Years. Today the biggest danger to our beloved Yoz is the imported birds. Because of their similar looks to Yoz and much cheaper prices they are gaining popularity and we must protect our birds. Because of their sensitivity and genetic structure they deserve to be protected.
