Although they are technically passerines, canaries tend to be managed uniquely, so here is a forum just for them!

I went and picked up his sister today.
For the price I paid, I had to get both of them.
Now I have to find mates for each one for next year.

At $50 each, I had to have both!
I can always trade one if I can't find two more.

Makes it great for buying but terrible if you want to sell some chicks lol

Here they are extremely hard to locate
and go for $150.00 each.
My friend sold them to me because
he is out of cage space to put them in.
Also the parents are ready to breed again
and were trying to chase the young away.
I would like to get another male and female,
but if I have to swap one for another I will.

Blimey you did get a bargain for them dint you
They are only cheap over here 'cause they are very common and easy to pick up,most canaries are cheap over here,apart from red factors which are around £50+ each
