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

Newbie

Post by Plak40 » Wed Aug 21, 2013 3:46 am

Hello to all,

New to this forum. I have been involved in the bird hobby for years. We have had Finches for a number of years. Recently, I got back into Canaries due to my mothers birthday. My brother and I bought her a Norwich. That then started the fad all over again. At our Brisbane Show recently I purchased a male and female Norwich too. We are hoping to breed them in the near future...providing she sits on the eggs? :roll:

Welcome to the forum! We have quite a few knowledgeable canary people on here, and they are always ready to answer questions. And we all love to see photos.
