Today the ICFS held their 20th annual show (i volunteered as ususal) and it was my favorite thus far! I was a steward (third year in a row) for the type canaries this year. A big beautiful border canary won overall type canary (i told the judge I thought he was the winner when the judging first began.

Anyways, I got a few new birds! Canaries! These are the first canaries I will ever be attempting to breed and I really need help.

I have three pairs of borders (from the breeder who's bird won) they are the biggest canaries I have ever seen, I love them! 5 are green, and I have one yellow cinnamon varigated hen. I also got a single fife hen, he didnt have a mate for her.

I also purchased a pair of diamond doves befor the mart/show doors opened, and after hours, and yes, hours, of bidding in a silent auction, I won a second pair of diamond doves. It was a great day!

I will post pictures tommorow. They're all a little stressed and I'd like to let them settle in

Sounds like it was a lovely event!

And congrats on your new birds!
I can't wait to see photos. I hope they settle in nicely.

Here are just a few pictures. They judged on the tables toss year. Normally we put up big stands with shelves.

Oooh, they are lovely!
I especially love the canary. Such a pretty sorbet color.

I didn't realize i had a picture of a pair of the doves. Type canaries belong to the breeder i got mine from. You can actually see a border in there

Congrats on your new canaries and diamond doves. Nice pics!

Those doves are so lovely!
Can I ask what you spent on them?
I've always wanted a pair, but they've always been so pricey --- $175+/each. But that was in a pet shop (def. a pet shop price!) and I would much prefer a breeder.

Sure! I bought my first pair for 30, but i got a deal on them because me and the breeder have done business before and she wanted them to have a good home. The second issue i got for 26 after hours of nickel and diming in the silent auction

This was the first I've seen of them besides the over priced ones at the stores. I snatched them up as quick as possible

By the way, the border Canary pictured above is the large green one. They're huge compared to normal canaries

Oh how I envy you this bird show. It sounds wonderful.
~ Congratulations on your new feathered friends.
~ What amazes me,

is that one of your new canaries appears to look surprisingly like a 'Zebra'. Heehee!
~As to some of these Canaries... it's amazing how many different shapes, colours and sizes they come in. The strangest one I have seen so far, is something from Belgium (can't recall the name right off hand) but it was tall and thin with a back that tilted forward in an awkward manner. It sort of looked like a broken scarecrow.

Good luck with new babies.

Dante, congratulations on your new birds. They look lovely, especially the canaries. I have 4 canaries and enjoy them tremendously. They bring so much colors and songs into my home. Hope you'll enjoy yours for many years to come

lovezebs thanks Elana! Those aren't my canaries just some he had on his table. He has a huge yellow border male. I regret not getting him. He was beautiful
