My new Canaries


BMustee

Recommended Posts

I just got a set of Green/yellow pied canaries today at work and they are so cute! The owner gave me a good deal because the male has scaly mites from the breeder so we couldn't sell him to a customer so I asked if I could get him as cost and treat him at home.

 

Here is the little boy.

And here is who I think is a little girl (blow test wasn't clear but I have not heard her sing so lets hope:laugh: )

Right now they are in a hospital cage with all plastic perches to treat the mites but when the male is cleared up I'll be moving them to a huge cage of their own.

BMustee, they're so cute. You are so sweet for treating them and giving them a good home :)

 

I like the first one the best. I think I have a 'thing' for birds with short tails :P

No singing here at home yet but thats normal. It can take a few weeks for them to get comfy in thier new home. The male did sing at the store so I know he has a Beautiful song! I do plan on breeding them and I'm thinking I might hand feed a baby to keep as a pet.B)

Because the female didn't have any mites I went ahead and gave her a dose of Ivermectin and treated her feet just to be sure she is mite free and moved her into the big cage today. Not 10 minutes after moving her the male started singing! Oh and what a song it is! Still nothing out of the female but peeps and chirps so I'm almost sure she is a she.

 

The Canaries will have their own aviary cage and the finches are in the other. As of now I only have two sets of stars and a disabled zebra pair. I lost my 7 year old set of owls a few months back and I sold my Gouldians to the store because I think the dust from Elmo might have been too much for their very delicate systems because I was treating them all the time for respritory infections and a few breeders I had talked to said they do a lot better outside in the fresh air.<br><br>Post edited by: BMustee, at: 2008/11/05 00:31

Hahaha...I'm sure they will.:P

 

I love the setups I have for the little guys. I HATE seeing finches and Canaries in cages that they can't fly in. Plus I let them fly free in the room while I clean the cages...with Elmo locked in the bathroom:laugh:
