The Lizard Canary Association

hi lads bred five young this year,your comments please.





the coloured bird with the pink ring is the hen

only 1 comment from me..............get them seperated into single cages QUICK. sadly looking at bottom pic its to late for the broken cap as he has a split tail and overyers feathers in the wing......clear caps look good and the broken cap is nicely split. (hard to be more accurate from pics)

lets hope theres a few hens to increase stocks over there

Top picture , I recognise the bird to the left , the over year , because its one I sent over Can't recall without looking in my book if its a Cock or Hen but I think its a hen !

Andy is right Don , a lost feather now will spoil the whole year because each time a feather grows back it deteriates a little . They are looking OK Don , still a little early to tell but it looks like the colour is coming through OK so you've got the hang of the colour feeding . Must make you feel good helping to establish the Lizard in Ireland and you haven't let us down .

Regards Paul.

thanks andy,i appericate your comments,thats what i was thinking with the split tail feathers my perches were to close to the side wall of the breeding cage.

i never copped it till i looked closer at the housing they were in.there tail feathers are(i think?)a bit longer than the gloster i keep.
yes paul its the hen i got off nevile towards the end of the breeding season,she is a good rearing hen always going about her buisness.
got some more birds recently some nice birds so lets hope for next year.
thanks to all.don

A great start Don for the program....Some lovely youngsters.

If memory serves me right, the pink and white split ring is indeed a hen.

Of the three youngsters in the top pic i would say the middle one is the better of the three, the one nearest the camara is slightly over capped whilst the one at the back looks to have a mishaped cap, still, with the colour coming through they look nice birds.

WELL DONE
