Nah-ahh....none of that [-X no way, no how, not happening!

I am not breeding any more Canaries at this point.

Plus, Pokey, is not altogether sound mentally (and I'm begining to wonder, if this carries over to physically as well, which possibly has something to do with the problems she's experiencing now).

Those pictures are adorable. Hope she is healthy and just struggling with hormones or some of Babs suggestions. A good appetite is a good sign.

Perhaps she is in a breeding kind of mood? At least that is what it appears like to me.

She has that "come-hither" look while she's sitting in the seed bowl ;))

When she drops her kids-nephews, whatever eggs they will be in the seed bowl, you let me know. **chuckle**

lovezebs you sure sound like you've covered all the basis. Perhaps she is just very broody.
My canaries feed each other too. That is what the male is supposed to do to the hens as part of their pair bonding. If I recall correctly the males feed the hens while they incubate. I've not bred canaries, so don't quote me on that one. :wink:

If all looks good and she is just acting weird then I'd also not be too keen to dose them on any meds, though I do want to say that even indoor housed caged bred birds can pick up internal parasites like worms, so they can be dewormed annually. You don't need to do it as regularly as outdoor kept birds, but it would be good to do it once or twice a year as a preventative.

I will have to look Into ordering some di-worming meds.

So far, Pokey girl, appears to be on the up and up :-).

Thanks everyone.

Whatever was bothering her, appears to have passed. She's busy chasing family members, demanding that everyone feed her.

She's also eating on her own, and back to being active.

Now we hope for the best :-).
