Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Birds Express/Finchfarm can legally ship birds to Canada. I know, it sucks for us Canadians!
Where in Canada are you located? I can give you the names of a couple of local breeders that I have bought from....maybe they can ship.
2 green singers
2 javas
2 zebra finches
2 bourkes

Hi Nerine, and thks for your reply!
about shipping, i contacted canadian agricol organization and i understand that only veterinary certificate is required. after my 1st contact with these companies, i confirm is possible to ship. the permit si not required. so the sipping document and fees are very expensives. I received many photos of bird and really i dont like its. birds likes in bad shape and not bred in cage...
thank you for your help and i m intrresting to have a couple of breeeder contact The best idea is buy from local breeder. i try to find local breeder but i dont this.
I m in Montreal but i can contact breeder in Ontario and Quebec (pickthem up by my self)
or other province (if shipping is possible)

I do believe there are some outfits in Canada that ship birds, but I have personally never tried them. Let's see if I can find the links....
http://www.birdsnways.com/birds/bradint.htm
Here are some listings, but not sure how old these are, and how many of them are still around.
If you find any others, please list them here, as I would really like to make a list for our Canadian Forum members.
