Breeding Season

[Canary]

Does anyone have canaries breeding yet? It is warm enough and my cocks are singing their heads off.

I am still planning to wait another 2 weeks before introducing the cocks to the hens, probably the weekend of the 15/9/2012.

Also my Red Siskins have started to build in my outdoor aviary. The cock bird is showing who's boss.

Got 4 pr down and two with young. They seemed to get ready early so hoping this lot will fledge with warmer weather as the weather here is up and down.

I have one hen building her nest as we speak.

I have spent sometime preping her so I dont think that its too early to breed her.

Good luck

Every year people breed them early. I hope their results are good. Unfortunatly every year we hear about clear eggs and dead in shell.
Personally I never pair up before the middle or even the end of september. I still manage to breed about 70 to 80 per year with average nests of 3 or 4.
That is 12 pairs with 2 rounds and still finished by christmas.

I have my male in a cabinet and the female in the avairy,the male is singing his head off.
But i will wait until around the 15th to pair them up again,still thinking of breeding them in my avairy with Zebs but not sure yet.

Hi, I have not paired my german rollers yet. Also waiting for around the 15 September. I have started breeding them every year at this time with great success. Rather be the Tortoise( ) than being the Hare.

Hi Canary,

My hens are showing all the signs of wanting to breed but I won't let them. Not until this cold weather passes.

Cheers
