jasper65 6 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 we've had this cock canary now for a good 8 years who still sings his heart out on his day. the problem we have with him which has gone on for a few years now is he seems to have small fits when disturbed for the smallest reason? simple things like cleaning him out or changing bath water will have him twittering and sitting on the bottom of the cage gapeing, within 10 mins he is up and fine again jumping round the cage. anyone come across this before?
