Me either!! I was partial to the Stafford Crested. I would love to see that bird in person. Can you see their eyes?

Re: Canary types
Yes, you can they are like the Glosters... the eyes are there under the tufts of feathers....
We did a lot of bird studying this time before deciding what canaries we were going to breed this time... Lots lof time spent at bird shows.. that is why I have such a collection of canary photos...

Re: Canary types
Denise -thanks for posting these! We have some lizard canaries at the store - they are so cool! We also have some frills - I'm not overly fond of them though. My favorite is the Stafford crested! That one is so adorable! Reminds me of myself in the morning!

Re: Canary types
How infinitely amazing! I am relatively safe, since I am only taking in rescues, but might drive a long way for some of these lovelies. Thanks so much!!

Re: Canary types
Just one more thing to add, I thought this might intrest you also.
In the canary show ring, they are judged in categories.
Type: (body style judged)
Yorkshire, Norwich, Border, Fife, Gloster,
Hartz, Columbus Fancy, Stafford.
(There are different divisions in these birds, ex. Glosters: Consort - Corona etc.)
Old World Varieties:
Belgian Fancy, Scot Fancy, Gibber Italicus, Northern Dutch Frill, Southern Dutch Frill, Parisian Frill, Padavon Frill, Florin Frill, Swiss Frill, French Frill, Giboso Espanol, Lancashire, Lizard.
ColorBred Canaries:
Red Ground intensive, Red Ground frost, Yellow Ground intensive & frost, White ground Dominate, & Recessive, Ivories, Mosaic, Bronze intensive, Bronze frosts, Brown Red, Agate Red & Isabel, Yellow & White (Silver & Gold), Classic Malanin all Mosaics, Opals, Phaeo's (ino), Satinets, Pastels, Topazes, Eumo's, Onyx, Non-Classic Mosaics.
Hybrids:
European Finches cross-bred with Canary's
Song:
American Singer, Spanish Tembrado, German Rollers, Waterslager, Malinoise, Russian Singer
I think that just about covers them.. (if I forgot any please feel free to add them)
Which has the best song? I guess it is up to the individual who is purchasing one.. The song birds are known for thier song... but they all have a distintive song...
We breed Colorbred birds (Red Factors) Glosters, & Dutch Frills(1 pair) Years ago we collected all different kinds... but all the songs were not pure... they all need to have a room of their own to keep the song pure..
So this time around we decided on type canaries...
