[@s.r.ramdath1358]

Bless your soul ,something to look forward each day

[@TheRazaDiaries]

Love the last shot of the Fife peering through the cage! Great shows interesting to see the shows progression from these . all best Rich

[@deirdreLaurence]

These season one episodes have been really beautiful

[@TheCanaryRoom]

@deirdreLaurence thank you, I’ve enjoyed watching them again after all these years

[@deirdreLaurence]

@@TheCanaryRoom I can imagine that rewatching them would bring you right back to those moments and days and more than just life with the birds; much like reading a diary. And also getting to see some bird friends again in their young forms; those that held sentimental value

What cages do you use?

[@TheCanaryRoom]

These are my old wooden ones that I had joiner made, I now use David rands cages

[@colmsweeney1327]

Matt - how are you? Really enjoying the uploads they’re brilliant. Just wondering how your Blue to Blue line turned out? Would you recommend the pairing? I’ve a heavily variegated blue cock and a lighter hen I’m hoping to pair this year

[@TheCanaryRoom]

@ from memory, not great! But I’ve repeated it a few time with some success

[@colmsweeney1327]

@ thank you for the reply . I’ve a little while left to decide before pairing .

@@TheCanaryRoom What material are the David Rands cages made of, which I find very well made? Also, where did you buy your feeders? Thank you.

[@deirdreLaurence]

You mentioned feather types; buff and yellow and within those hard and soft. Does, for example, mean that a bird can be buff with a hard feathering? "Hard" in this instance being a coarseness to feathering? Keith has mentioned breeding buff to yellow to avoid feather cyst formation but I would imagine that it would be more accurate to say breed hard to soft as those terms reference the feather structure as opposed to the extent of feather colouring

[@TheCanaryRoom]

That’s correct, hard to soft there are only very few coarse feathered buffs in fifes though in my experience

[@deirdreLaurence]

@@TheCanaryRoom I would think it is because coarse feathering isn't attractive and bred out of the birds. I only have one bird that I'd consider buff with coarse feathers, he's not particularly handsome but I think that he may be valuable with some very fine, soft feathered hens. That I am yet to find out:)
