Aria From A Bird Cage

American Singer Canaries 

  According to Webster Dictionary:     a-ri-a. (ä΄rēַə), noun,  1. an elaborate melody sung by a single voice    2. a striking solo performance  [Italian, from Latin ǎera, literally means air]

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.  Males are generally offered for $75-$80 and hens for $50-$55.    My foundation stock includes all colors, from yellow, white, green, blue, cinnamon, and fawn and wonderfully variegated birds. 

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.

Cage Tags

These are the best solution I've found for cage tags, a plastic tile that was designed to be a bread bag closure.  They measure 1 3/8" long, and 7/8" wide, with a small, heart-shaped opening. 

Curious birds can't remove them from the cage wire, but you can easily clip and unclip them when you move a bird from one cage to another.

The most common use for cage tags is to identify the occupants of a particular cage.  Usually, the bird's band number, color, and other information is written on the tag with a fine line permanent marker.

I stock these in WHITE. 

Price:  $2.00 per package of 100 tags
