fireman 10,974 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thats a pretty little bird mate ,has it been colour fed as it has a nice colouring on it's chest?.Get him out in the garden when it's a nice day singing and your'll see the wild goldies come in to see who it is making the song.

wild rover 548 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Bred last year from a goldie to a Fife, not sure about colour fed but the red is very distinctive, went to a sale and some were selling for £140, me being new didnt want to pay that much, got this one for £35 from a bloke about 12 miles away, have joined a CBS club, meeting on thursday so hopefully meet more people in the know.

fireman 10,974 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thats a fair price to pay for a cock goldie mule mate and your'll find some grand help at the cbs meeting,my local ones are so so funny with old norfolk boys going off on tangents all the time but what them fella's know you couldn't fit it the cover of a book it's so vast.

DAN.BOY 13 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 nice bird mate me grandfather used to keep goldie/canary mules lovely birds aint they, is he a good singer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wild rover 548 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 He has just started and is singing well now, he tries to outsing the fife cocks, I have 6 fife cocks so hes at it a fair bit, very lively bird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,523 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Does he sing canary or finch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wild rover 548 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Sound very similar to the canary cocks but with a bit of finch at times, Im a newcomer so im assuming as its slightly different at times that it is finch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 10,974 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 If he hadn't developed his song fully before hearing your canaries sing he could well sing finch with a canary song mixed in to it,it's known as being canary noted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,523 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Only reason I asked mate is that the finch noted mules are worth more, imo the whole idea of breeding a finch mule is to have it finch noted but a more reliable singer with hybrid vigour but as long as your happy with the bird that's the main thing.
