My new Fifes

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

Lovely. We don't have the capability to post videos, so doing a link as you have done is the only way I know to show them.

Congratulations on the new Canaries, they look wonderful :-).

That's not good :-(.
Was tgere something wrong with them, or did the parents simply not feed?

How are the new Canaries doing? Are they behaving themselves?

Did I mention I am terrified of owning zebras? I think I did a thousand times. "Starter finch" they call 'em..... 8-|

I feel like people who do well with them are pros.

My friend has an aviary - every month 4-6 babies or more pop out. Nests less than the pairs in there and 2 or 3 extra males.

Mine have a cage each with a choice of 2 cages. 6 pairs - 4 babies in a year. *swearing*

Yes, Canaries do love their baths, and are fun to watch.
Have fun shopping :-).
