Thanks, I really appreciate your taking the time to answer my questions. I also want a canary so I think they can keep each other company and I can convince my husband of this.

Can you tell me about the time they fledge? I just went through breast cancer treatment and that's why the bird owner thought it would be better to try hand feeding...the 5 month old birds she had were pretty wild.

Still excited but this seems like a crap shoot.
