bit of advice wanted canaries


Recommended Posts

I take it it's a siskin cock mate and if so leave him in there and he might just help with the rearing of the chicks,just keep an eye on him while there are eggs in the nest and if he's messing with them take him out.A few goldie cocks will mess with eggs and with their sharp beaks can put a tiny hole in them,not sure what siskins are like but i'm sure someone will say.If she's happy with the nest a day or two and she should be ready to lay in it,if shes not happy with it she might just leave it or destroy it herself.
