They look like they are almost ready.

Within a few days they will be completely out of the nest.

G'day!

These two are out of the nest and so is their cousin. All 4 parents are first timers.

I was surprised that all birds are dark colour. The four parents are yellow with dark markings and crests. However grandad is a dark bird.

I hope to get more photos tomorrow.

My three fledgling canaries are doing well a week out of the nest. One pair of parents is sitting on 4 eggs , the other on 5.

I had another pair hatch 2 but they died without any evidence of being fed by first time parents. Another pair sat on infertile eggs for 2.5 weeks.

Another pair of first timers hatched 1 of three eggs and it is doing well after 1 week.

I have about 12 eggs in 4 nests due to hatch next weekend.

These are all canaries. My Zebras do there on thing in the aviary and I regularly have young.

Gday!

These are the 2 canaries that fledged about 3 weeks ago. Another one fledged soon after and i have a 4th one which will fledge in a few days.

Other than that I have about 6 hairy critters from just hatched to first pin feathers in different nests.

Funny what colours you get from what sometimes. My all green crested cock to what can best be described as a calico hen (splotchy) produced a yellow with just a tick of green and a 60/40 yellow green crested cock. Congratulations on your breeding results.
