I got a cute little male canary last year in trade for some button quail and I just love him. Canaries have so much personality for such little birds! (So much so that I wrote a comic strip about them for a local newspaper years back for nearly half a decade.)

This little guy would sing all day and even let me know when the food dish was empty with his little scolding voice. I decided this year it was time to get him a girlfriend and was able to find a lovely little white hen who is part Gloster.

They got along right away and lost no time in making a nest. Today I looked inside and there are two tiny, speckled blue eggs. I’m smitten!
