Oh ok, now I get it.

Yes, Jean does raise Bluypu Caps, but I don't think she ships to the States, or at all for that matter of fact.

You could e-mail her and ask (?)

I'm playing catch-up today while Bill is at his parents for Easter. The linnies? The Canaries? Hmmm?

Good day Sweetie,

Canaries? Not me.

Linnies, are a possibility.
Kevin, has Kensie's parents, which might be a 'maybe' that he might be willing to sell(?)

The Forbes Parent Finches....
Now those are the ones, which I asked a breeder from Edmonton (Jean) to bring a pair of, when she come down to Feather Fest in August. They are soo absolutely beautiful, and she always has such stunning birds.

Love Canaries!

It was a Canary named Luciano, who started the Finch madness, lol.

As a child, there were my brother's Budgies, then my Budgies, then Canaries for quite a long time, then some little Finches, then Canaries.

When my two old Canaries passed awy, a friend offered me a juvenile Love Bird, and for the next close to 20 years, I suffered with these evil little critters, after which I vowed NO MORE BIRDS!!!

Yea, well that lasted a couple of months give or take...

Then I went to Golden Acres Garden Center, and they had a Canary singing in a cage.

Only days afterwards I was visiting Frank (who 's Father, and his Father bred Canaries, still back in Italy). Frank, continuing the family tradition, was breeding Canaries.

I came home with a lively little Canary, and named him Luciano.
Now Luciano, began singing that evening, and I was smitten.

He was followed by 2 little Zebra brothers.... and I haven't looked back since.

At some point, my poor Luchi fell in love with a Society hen (which was just sad).

Back to Frank I went, and came back with not one, but two brides for my boy. Needless to say, Luciano was ecstatic.

One bride proved to be infertile, but he loved her anyway, feeding her in her empty nest.
The other presented Luciano, with two clutches of children in short order, 3 boys, and one slightly slow girl (my Pokey).

Sadly Luchi, was fated to become a widowed Canary, not once, but twice. However, he was no longer alone, having his children around him.

This little family resides with me, tolerant of one another, the boys singing their hearts out, and Pokey being Pokey. I have to remove her from the flight during breeding season to avoid any Borgia like scandals, but the rest of the year everyone co-exists peacefully.

So you see, I do love my Canaries, but don't need anymore of them right now
