gnipper 6,426 Posted June 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Isabel mate, they both jumped first and one has died and I caught a quail after the other so I took the quail out and then I caught the dad attacking it so it's getting hand reared the last bit. He's fine with the darker chicks so the next round are getting swapped with a canary. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,426 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Although they're just little brown birds that don't sing they are lovely little things aren't they. I need some unrelated isabels to pair these I've bred to as all mine are close bred now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david jones 97 Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 They are lovely little things I would be well proud of them gnipper, there is a man on a another web site who has bred canary x red hooded siskin's they look great. Got me sold on them to the extent I'm going to Newark on the 3rd to get me self a pair to put with my fife canary's next year. I keep a lot of Siberian bullfinch, and the fife canary's are a nice distraction, when things don't go to plan with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
