[Fraza]

Basically I’ve bout two goldfinches mule they were cheap and can’t be bothered explains but I picked them up so skipping to the point

Are they worth keeping

If you're looking for something to breed, then no, they aren't worth keeping. They are infertile, and are typically a domestic canary X European goldfinch hybrid.

I've heard that they have a nice song and look pretty, so they might be worth keeping for that reason. They might make decent foster parents for canaries or goldfinches; however, the babies will have to be kept separate from the mules once they wean if they are to develop behavior and vocalizations appropriate for their species.

Icearstorm okay well they aren’t very friendly either they was fighting with my new canarys I’m defiantly keeping my canarys aswell as I’ve wanted these for months I was waiting for red ones but ended up with yellow type

And okay thanks they are a canary mule one aswell

Goldfinch mules are very pretty, I would keep them. I have a goldfinch (not a mule but still very pretty) and she is just for keeping, I would never breed her.

Male goldfinch mules are best housed in their own cages.
They can be very aggressive.

jonvill yeh that’s what I was about to write through the breeding cages wjen one of my other birds lands on the mesh it pecks them through the mesh so it would not go well in the aviary and I can’t keep them inside I don’t have enough room

Flight Feathers yeh they are pretty and nice sound but keep them they wouldn’t go well in the aviary and I can’t have them in the house sometimes I need the cages in the house if a bird gets hurt or for breeding

Oh I see, I wonder why the goldfinch mules are like this? Is it just because they are a cross of two birds? Because my goldfinch is fine with all my birds.

Oh canaries are lovely birds, I am sure you will enjoy having them. I have orange canaries (non color fed tho)

[Fraza]

Flight Feathers well I’ve found out they are both girls anyway so I am not going to keep them as I don’t want mixed colours but I will get some more soon and post pics of them gutted really but I want a true coloured pair for the first ones I don’t want mixed colours

Flight Feathers and I know this is weird but I have a heck in a breeding cage with 2 society’s and a hybrid cherry x society and the hybrid was fighting with the heck and not letting it in the bed now I have took it out the heck is in the bed with the society’s preeining then lol weird maybe we have just solved something

Oh, why not a mixed color pair? I just have 2 orange canaries cuz that’s just what I managed to find. They are both crosses anyways.

That’s strange. Will the heck breed with the societies?
