Moving Chicks to Clean Nest / Color Demonstration with Three Nests --- Canary Talk (May 13)

Talking about the colors of agate and opal canaries plus moving chicks to clean nests. While holding a chick, it squeaks and jumps... both indicators (not absolute proof) he is a male.
7:22 Color Demonstration with three nests of chicks:
5:00 Two wonderful males are feeding the chicks perfectly, while the hens are thinking about building a second nest.
11:01 Moving two nests of chicks to a clean nest.
13:32 I also have videos of how the chicks are growing. Many chicks are out of their nests and on the floor.
15:33 I give my opinions on the proper way to dispose of our bird room trash!

my hen laid three eggs but tried to kill the male twice. i had no choice but to separate them. will she be able to feed her chicks on her own?

[@SavoySingersAviary]

Yes, she will do well. Many breeders use one male to mate with several hens.. the male travels from cage to cage as the hens begin to lay eggs.. then the hens are left to incubate and raise their chicks. They do fine. :)

@@SavoySingersAviary hi again. well she left the nest two days ago and now her and the male are chirping to each non stop. should i return him to her cage again? thanks for your help. i new at this

@@123bridel this is a common question. I don't know if you live in US or where, but I'd say : is it Spring or early to mid summer where you live? Canaries breed based on daylength... and naturally breed most successfully when the hours of daylight are increasing ... and 'fall out' of proper condition as the days shorten in fall. The hen may still be thinking about nesting, but will probably not be successful. If you have her where her days are the same length all year, such as in a living room where people turn lights on in morning, and off at night, canaries can be stuck in nesting mood most of the year.
