yep we are! i put a post up of Tango and her nest already. Cyril wont be able to breed as she is a mule! i guess Canary and Greenfinch together makes them infertile. Charlie has been trying to feed her though |

i'm not sure as the petshop had 3/4!! didnt asked! but its a small petshop. ahhhh mike has just said they do breed them on purpose for the solours and song, but cyril is a hen and doesnt sing. any native british finch has to be ringed and registered too thats what mike was told. |
