Cheers for the pics Mick i really like that bird is that quite a rare colouring then ?.....I did see one some time back wished id got it now as ive not seen one since.

 

to be honest gnasher i picked it up when i went to buy my gold mosaics , didnt really want one but the fella let me have it for a £5, it took me months to find a hen for him , and paid good money for her , sadly she had two rounds of eggs but none were fertile , apparently they use the red blacks with red factors to get the intense red . been going the local bird auction and not seen many ,

Mickmck; What's that colour called? Fifes, funnily enough, seem to be my favourite 'type' of canary, along with Irish Fancy. They just appear more natural.

 

Gnipper; Am I about right in believing mules are canary x finch. And they'd most likely be sterile. And the hens, of course, don't tend to sing?

 

If so, isn't that rather frustrating? Bit like a poultry farmer wanting to weed out the cocks. But, don't you have to wait till the moult? Lot of bloody feed must go on a completely useless bunch of barren hens then, one way or another.

 

Good this. I've never really concerned myself with other than the odd pet canary and native birds in general. I wish I had an appreciation of the songs. (I wish I could hear most birds songs!) Shit! Come to think of it? I wonder if I could hear a canary any more?! Jesus! That's a Very real consideration!

 

If not? Guess I'd just have to satisfy myself with colours I like the look of

 

See? Take nothing for granted, Gnipper. Life can, indeed, be a bitch!

 

 

would probably be classed as a cinnomon ??

 

hi mick, I kinda think its a fawn, nice birds by the way.
