I raise wonderful American Singer canaries,
following the principles and guidelines set out by the founders of the
breed.
The goal in my birdroom is
to produce canaries that have an outstanding, free harmonious
song with plenty of variety and a beautiful shape that will
please the average pet owner.
This is true to the intention of the original creators of
the American Singer breed.
As Spring approaches, breeding pairs are carefully selected with that
goal in mind, but with the added challenge of producing show
quality young to exhibit at bird competitions. An American
Singer competition is mostly about the song, and the largest
portion of points the judge can award the birds is based
on the bird's freedom (willingness to sing) and their rendition
(elements of their song).
Because I want others to experience
the joy of hearing an......"Aria From A Bird Cage",
I make some of my canaries available to folks who want to enjoy a pet
bird in their home.

Feel free to
contact me by email or give me a call to inquire
about those currently available or to reserve your place on the
waiting list. Please be sure to put something about
canaries in the title line, as I tend to get a lot of junk mail
and delete many messages before opening them if they aren't
canary related.
Birds are bred early in the year, during
January, February and March. As Summer approaches, the youngsters are
growing and young males are refining their singing skills by
listening to older males who are tutoring them. By early Fall, folks on
the list are contacted to arrange a visit to the aviary to make
their selections. I don't sell babies before they have
completed their juvenile molt, as that is a physically demanding
time for them and they need to come through it without the added
stress of moving to a new home.
All canaries I raise are banded with American Singer closed leg
bands which are engraved with the year of hatching and the
bird's
unique number. The bands are registered with the National
Secretary of the American Singer Club, Inc., assuring purchasers
that the birds are purebred representatives of the breed. A
written pedigree is also provided with each canary.
