The Ménage à trois canary family are busy. We have one male and two females, one of which has just hatched five babies. One baby fell out of the nest and didn't survive, but the other four appear to be doing well.
Ken finally put two nest boxes in the budgies' aviary, and they have been excitedly checking them out ever since. There are nine eggs in one, but we have no idea who the mother is, as several budgies go in and out of there all the time!
Hi Gina,
ReplyDeleteOh no!! It's me again!!! I'll keep it
short this time ... I promise.
When I was a kid (back in the Jurassic
period) we had a Canary as a pet and I
always loved to hear it sing. It use
to love it's bath time during my lunch
hour and would splash water everywhere
in it's enthusiasm. Since it's cage
was right next to the kitchen table
we'd sometimes get a free shower thanks
to that silly bird.
How exciting!! Baby Canaries and baby
Budgies and baby Finches. Wish I could
be there to watch them mature. It must
be fascinating to see.
The Budgies are beautiful with their
colorful feathers. What an incredible
range of colors there are in that picture.
That blue one is spectacular!!
Thanks for the update, and for your
comments after my "epic" comment
yesterday. What can I say? We
haven't had a chance to "visit" for
a long time now. Good thing I didn't
start commenting on all your posts
starting from June when my computer
first crapped out, eh?
Cheers!!
