The Lizard Canary Association

Hi, I'm Phil and I live in Hampshire with my
wife and son, Ive kept birds for
about four years now and shown them, but this is my first year at breeding them. I also have two pairs of Lancs, one of which has gone down, and a pair of Crests that are building, along with three pairs of Lizards, one pair gone down.
I want to concentrate on these breeds, as I like the rare canaries, but I have to say the Lizards are my favourite!
cheers Phil

well phil.

i am glad you have found us mate,welcome and good luck for the coming season...

anything you want to know dont hesitate to ask......

Hi Steve, one question I do have is that the Lizard
hen I have has only laid two eggs ,one Sunday and another Tuesday, I have set them after using dummies, as I dont expect any more, is this normal for Lizards?

i would not say normal exactly,but if it is her first breeding year then i would not be concerned.......

Phil,

i have put 7 pairs down this year, one is sat on 2 eggs having missed a day twice, a couple on 3 & the remainder on 4. Strange thing these birds you know.

regards

Darren

read about the hen missing days,dont worry,i have a dimorphic brown hen laid three all a day missing,two have hatched a day apart waiting for third tommorrow,

Hello Phil ,
Welcome on board . Glad to see another keeper of Rare Canaries joining the ranks . I am running a Rare Breeds and Old Varieties Show in Eastbourne (not to far from you ) in October ----hopefully we'll see you there . Brian Hogg is booked to judge , did I read elsewhere you got your Lancs from him ?

Regards Paul.

Hi Paul, Eastbourne isnt far, so count me in, Ill look out for the schedule.I got my Lancs from Brian Hogg, who has been very helpful, also I got a pair of Crests from Andrew Franz at the S.B.C.B.A show in Oct 08, and they have laid one egg so far, so Im keeping fingers crossed
Regards Phil

Hi phil i also bred lancs and Lizards but Lizard is my real love. You will know me Phil as i am the show secretary of the South bucks who's show is on the 21st of November this year.

Hi Dave,I remember speaking to you at the show, and thats what got me started with the lovely Lizards, so thanks again mate !!
This site, and yours, are brilliant and so helpful to someone like myself, whose just starting out in birdkeeping.I will be at the show on Nov 21st , and as its my birthday, maybe Ill win with this years birds! ( I hope ! )
Take care mate ..Phil

The show is on October 24th Dave , its Eastbourne & District CBS but they have given me a Rare Breeds & Old Variety Section and the Sussex Zone of the CCBA will be running a Colour Canary Section ---so its like three shows in one . Hope you can make it Dave , its the day before the Classic so I don't expect you can bring any Lizards but we'd love to see your Lancs. I've got full OVCA patronage .

Regards Paul.

day before the classic......................damn
