Orange, orange, ORANGE!!!! That describes the canary my brother and I gave my mom for her b'day last week. We found the most beautiful antique cage, it is on a big stand and is huge! It has a domed top with a swing up there. She is absolutely silly over this little guy and gives me daily updates! He is a Red factor (thanks ya'll for the canary info) and sings up a storm. She has even tape recorded him! ha! She spends all her time now trying to feed him, and bath him, and etc....... I am afraid he may be the size of an eagle if she doesn't quit feeding him so much! LOL Happy, happy, happy is she! I am thankful! Everyone needs a little bit of life in their home! I will send photo as soon as I get them developed.

I'm looking forward to seeing pictures. How nice to read that your Mom is enjoying taking care of him. What's his name?

Umm, nevermind.....The thread title 'Beau Peep' just sunk in.

He sounds wonderful and your mom sounds so smitten. Please do give us updates and pics!
