My Birdroom
Having just started keeping and breeding American Singers, for my first year I have devoted a small corner of the basement for my birdroom.
A large 6'x3'x6' flight was contructed using 2"x1" wood and wire mesh. Three double breeder cages were constructed from plywood and painted white. This is a common construction where I come from in England. Many American fanciers I have visited here in the USA use all wire cages. The cage fronts were purchased in Spain during a visit to see family and flown home in a suitcase! The individual cages are a roomy 26" wide, 18"high and 16" deep.
Foundation stock was purchased from members of M.A.S.C.O.T one of Maryland's canary clubs, dedicated to the American Singer. My initial stock consisited of 2 cocks and 3 hens. They have produced 18 youngsters in total this spring. a very respectable average of 3 chicks per nest. Read more about my first breeding season Here.
