good legs and feet?

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

Be careful about sending money in advance to someone you don't know on craigslist. Better if you could pick her up. She looks healthy.

The cages look clean and the birds are very nice. Just be careful dealing with craigslist. Let us know if you buy some.

Wildbird -
thank you

I will only pay when delivered in person.
There r valid sales but also unfortunately lots of scams on craigslist.

Since I'm a beginner and not familiar with what to look for, and will be fast once arrive and just drop off birds, not easy for me to know if anything I should be careful of
Most important is healthy bird, looks very pretty but needs to be healthy.

Glad to know cages and birds look good

Wildbird -
Yes I'll post after. I said yes to the craigslist person. My only hesitation was if they looked ok.
Glad they look healthy, thank you again wildbird for that reassurance.
I didn't want to buy just based on my amateur going by pretty looking colors.
