Back on the nest.

Four weeks to the day of receiving a clutch of plastic eggs in an actual plastic canary nest basket, Kari - eternal egg drowner, smasher, and inadvertant tosser, builder of water bowl, ceiling fan, and floor nests - tossed them and laid a new one of her own today. She sat steady on those duds for over a month with no trouble. Could she possibly succeed this time around with her own? We'll see...

Sounds like she may, good luck to her and her clutch.

Good luck with Kari, Dylan.

I can't get my red factor canary, Esmeralda, onto a nest. First she insisted on nesting in a tiny food cup. Then when I removed the cup and placed a couple of canary nests with felt linings, she pitched the linings out. When I placed some nesting materials inside the cage for her, she threw them all into her birdbath! I don't know what else to do for her at this point

May I inquire as to how things are going with Shari and the clutch? Is she still sitting?

Arama She's sitting but the eggs are all early dead-in-shells. She either lays infertiles or eggs that die almost instantly and turn murky. I believe she may have some deficiency (I have no idea how though with her varied diet) or a genetic predisposition. I don't have her as a breeder, she's just a pet, so it's not a big deal as long she herself is healthy. The longer she sits the less eggs she'll lay and the better off she'll be.

That is still a rather sad experience to have to go through. So sorry.
