hi

I have a cage so far just wondering what birds to get.

Thinking either finches or canaries been looking. ordered a couple of
book on these birds. just wondering what ppl on here think about
which make the best pets.I'm edging towards canaries.I have a decent size cage but need to decide before i buy anything else so i get the right stuff.

Depends what you fancy....Zebra finches are cute if you don't mind the constant chatter.Whatever you get don't crowd the cage.

Trouble is with canaries is if you get a hen and cock you may have problems in the breeding season as mine get very aggressive with the hens so much so that I have had to seperate them,you could have 2 hens but they dont sing never put 2 cocks together they will fight,wish you lived near me I've got so many canaries you could have a couple

thanks for replys. its a shame i dont live near you.

just waiting f0r the books to come now. think id like a couple of birds as one will look so tiny in there and i feel one on its own isnt right.

If you get finches you need at least two...they don't live happily alone.Don't forget though...they may get very used to you but don't expect to get them finger tame.

Never had canaries yet so cant comment on them.
