Just one more bird!!!!!

[Luvparrots]

Meet Captain Caruso, my new baby red male canary. I didn't start off looking for a red canary just a male canary because I love their song. Little Cappy is the only male canary I could find in my small town that I could purchase from the breeder. I nicknamed him "Cappy" because he has a black spot on the back/side of his head and it looks like a cap. I was surprised to learn that red canaries have a special diet during molting season to help them maintain their red coloring. So meet Captain Caruso II, aka Cappy:

 

 

Cappy is just starting to sing. I was also surprised to see that he also likes to play with bells. he is quite handsome, if I do say so myself.

Its always just one more bird Janet, well at least it is a small one and a pretty one too, I hear that they sing beautifully, now what do the other fids think of your recent aquisition? Didn't you already have a canary?

Aww how sweet.

Isn't he just the most precious little wisp of feathers. I love the little black cap and his name. He will be singing his little heart out when he discovers he has been so fortunate as to find his way to your house. Ana Grey will have him at her bid and call by the end of the first day. Your house is a happy friendly place. Congrats on your new arrival.

Thanks everyone, Cappy is a happy little guy. He rings his bell and really eats up a storm.

Oh Judy you are so observant. Yes, I did have another but unfortunately, I tried to treat him like a parrot and had him out of the cage at his leisure. I forgot how swift small birds are and he was out the door before I could blink. A very big mistake and one I am trying hard not to repeat. Cappy will be living in my office, with a screen over the door so he cannot escape. As for him getting along with the parrots, forget it. Ana Grey would have him for lunch, she is not a fan of small birds. She would stalk him I am sure, so there will be no interaction.

 

Cappy loves fresh veggies and having to cut them ever so small is a challenge but Cappy has a very healthy appetite.

Oh I am so sorry to hear that Janet, yes being small birds they are very quick and I can imagine he was out and gone in no time but you got addicted to his beautiful song so you have a new one now. Yes by all means take the extra measures to keep him safe, I have to be extra careful of Gypsy, my tiel for she is a swift flyer and could easily escape if given the opportunity.
