New Canary

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

New Canary

Post by Ginene » Wed Jun 05, 2013 10:50 am

This is Hansel, my new canary. I know he's variegated, but he looks like he has bronze in him. What do you think??? The lighting in the pics isn't great, but you can get the idea. Thanks :)

Very handsome! I'm definitely jealous. I hope to have a canary of my own someday. :o

Thank you...he's a sweetie pie too! Get yourself one...or two :wink: . They are adorable and hysterical too. My hen Gretel clucks like a little chicken. She is sooo pretty. Actually has a girly face.

Oh, he's so pretty! Oops, I mean handsome.

Are you going to let them make baby canaries some day?

Thanks Ladies :wink: ! I'm curious to know if he is bronze??? I'm hoping that Bob takes a look @ my pics and lets me know what he thinks. Either way, he's a keeper :) .

Thanks Sam :) . I was just playing canary songs to him fro you-tube, and he has the trill down...just waiting to hear some other new sounds from him. But the quality of his song is very different from my hen. She has lots of different sounds, but they are more muted, raspy and not as clear.

I would consider him green, but he may have some red factor or bronze mixed in there somewhere. Again, with colorbreds, those are just colors - and colors are subject to interpretation. He is very handsome and that particular color is very close to that of the wild type canary living in the Canary Islands. They are generally very hardy. Good luck with him! Bob
