This bird became expensive and fashionable to breed in courts of Spanish and English kings. Monks started breeding them and only sold the males which sing. This kept the birds in short supply and drove the price up. Eventually, Italians obtained hens and were able to breed the birds themselves. This made them very popular and resulted in many breeds arising and the birds being bred all over Europe.
