    You could properly get a pair of goldies for 50 -100 pound don't really know about bullies but know the hens can reach 150 pound each but it depends on the time of year really and who you know

    I think to breed 137 canaries in one year is just a amazing taz true dedication but I do think if you have too many it can get overwhelming and you can not spend enought time with all of them as you got too many respect to you for cutting down so you can spend more time with family and breed more mutation goldies hope you do well with all of them atb

    I know we still have another two three months left but just seeing how everyone's doing with there birds I've managed to breed my first ever British and ring them! with some help from fireman witch is much appreciated and really happy about it but have had my bad times with a clutch full of canary chicks on the floor dead and a round of greenies not hatching but she's building again so fingers crossed lol so I'm now turning a little bit a my attention to septembers rebuild which cannot wait to do as will give me room for my first pair of goodies and possibly a pair of bullies depending on how

    I don't really know about that perle morbide but what Ive heard. Of it is that it's really top notch stuff but you can't beat the wild food thought so much goodness and fireman showed me how if you go out collecting it you can get tons of insects aswell on the food which the birds love

    I'm not worried as you say there's plenty of time and my greenie chicks are getting bigger by the day so well chuffed about thet and she probably did as she is a good mother and proper amazed with the greenfinch pair as doing so well going again and looking after the two chicks especially being their first time and never seen so much input from the cock bird even seen him carrying nesting material about and taking it up to the nest and seen my other canary jen carrying nesting material so she should being going down soon so not all bad and that's the thing with bird keeping your gunna get som
  16. spartan
    Well she's build a completely new nest now so will have to chuck it away and unfortunately I found the rest of the canary chicks dead on the floor so chucked the nest away and put the canary cock back in but I think it was die to the nest not being deep enough so neat time will make sure she builds in a nest pan for sure that's if she does go again and I moved two of the nest pans today in different locations and different highs so will see if they take to them

    You know never actually thought about it that way I always tried going for the stealthy approach but will try that next time cheers gnasher
  18. spartan
    Yeah I know I always find that when you wanna take pictures of them there always darting about and hiding away lol but when you don't they there out an about and just sit there and it's just luckily if you do get a good picture
  19. spartan
    Ok will do that tomorrow than and I was a bit surprised when I saw him do it as last year never had a problem with him and that was in a double breeder but was in there while he done it and as he draged the hen out of the nest the only chick left was falling out so quickly putting my hand up and gently but it back in and my heart.was pounding lol so quickly grab him and put him in a cage and still have two left to hatch if they do and the greenfinch chicks should be fleding soon so when they do should take the neat out?
  20. spartan
    I know what you mean gnasher I think I'm going to have to invest in a better camera
  21. spartan
    Will do that tomorrow fireman is it a good idea to put some nest pans at different heights? And that red factor cock was attacking that white hen on the nest to day and pulled her of and nearly chucked one of the chicks out and one had already died on the floor so toke him out and put him in a cage
  22. spartan
    My hen greenfinch already has two chicks in a nest but she's carry more nesting material in to the nest any ideas why lads?
  23. spartan
