CSI: Aviary Search




What in the world is Big Bird Testing on her canaries now?

Breaking News: We have a winner, actual two winners Donald of South Africa said it was dried fruit and Ed correctly identified the dried fruit as Strawberries and Raspberries!

I was ask to test a new softbill product on canaries to see if it was marketable to canary people. First I tried it dry, neither the particular Borders males nor the eat almost anything German Roller males would eat it either plain or in a nestling food. Both Borders and Rollers picked it up and threw it away without eating a single bite. Looking at it and feeling it, it is tough.

Next I tried moistening it and even softened the Borders still refused to try it but three out of four German Rollers males at least ate it! I thought they looked like they were dressed up and wearing lipstick and wanted to show you how handsome they look with red lips!!

  2. Hello Linda,
    Sorry for this question not about this issue..
    I heard you talk about using Frontline as spot on method.
    How long before the start of the breeding season can we use it?
