Here's our new kids, no names as of yet.
Very nice little Canary's.

Congratulations Artie! They look like my Luciano (RIP) and Joy Boy! They will bring such wonderful songs into your life.

Hi Arty! They are beautiful! Are they singing yet?

They are beautiful. I just love the bright colors and the singing.

They have very long head feathers, almost to the point of covering there eyes.
They are wonderful singers.

Arty, if they are two males, please put them in separate cages large enough for them to take a short flight. Canaries are not social birds and it's very stressful for males to share a territory. It shortens their lives.

Funny you should mention that Bee, when I first offered my Fantail Pigeons for adoption this real nice man replied by saying he raised Canaries, well he offered me 2, we spoke about males and females and the breeding issues (we don't breed here) and he said he would bring me a male and female.
Well, the little female was ill, so he brought me a different one when returning the shipping box I borrowed him to transport the Pigeons in, but he said he didn't know the sex of the new bird.
Now seems the singing has stopped.
Hmmmmm, maybe its time to have them sexed and offer a larger cage.
Thanks girl!
I appreciate your advise.
Take Care
Arty

Arty they are just beautiful,congrats on your new babies.

If they are from this year (too early but people breed them off-season all the time, the poor things!), you won't be able to sex them. You'll need to wait until next breeding season when the male genitals look different from the females, they look the same when they are too young or the rest of the year. Just as a reference, once they go into breeding condition, the males will have a little feather-covered 'pipi' and the females will have a round lower abdomen with no 'pipi'. When they are at the peak of conditioning, the females will have what I call 'the baboon look' where their cloaca is: swolen, protruding and red.

If they are not song canaries, you might get away with keeping a male and a female together as long as the cage is very large but, if they are of a song breed (Hartz rollers, Spanish Timbrados or Belgian Malinois -aka waterslaggers), you will need to separate them too because the better the singer, the more aggressive the canary is and song canaries would attack and even kill females out of breeding season.

Oh they are cute little buggers.
