Over the last couple of months using a timer on my bird room lights I've had them coming on
earlier each week.Over the last few weeks they are set to come on at 5.30am.The signs were
all there with the cocks singing their heads off and when I threw in some teased hessian to the
hens and watched them gather it up in their beaks I started to pair them up.All 3 pairs mated
as soon as they were introduced and within a few days the first eggs were laid.
The main reason I have done it is part experiment! I want to finish them up from breeding
at the end of September so I can pull them from the breeding cabinets and put them in one
of my flight aviaries for the summer months where they can bathe daily.
I will keep you all posted on how things progress.

Very interesting Jack,well done.So it looks like canaries can be bred all year round with the right conditions.Now you can have Christmas holidays because your breeding season will be over at that time of the year when they normally breed. Cheers Craig
