The FifeLife - Australian Canary Hobby
Registrace 13. 01. 2024
Welcome to this Australian Channel dedicated to the hobby of keeping and breeding Canaries, the Fife Canary.
No matter your Canary of choice, be it the Border, Norwich, Gloster, Yorkshire, New Colour, Red Factors, or Song Birds. I have kept many different types Canaries, as has my family, dating right back to their origins in Coal Mining. And if there's one thing that I know, ALL Canaries thrive on good husbandry, good diet, good enrichment, and us as bird keepers receiving good information.
This is a channel specifically designed for the Australian audience to help beginners and those curious about getting started, and perhaps people who have never considered the Canary hobby who have just stumbled across this channel. My greatest fear is that the hobby is dying. It's time to ensure that doesn't happen!
*To the "Experts" this may not be for you, or just maybe it is? If so, hopefully, it inspires you and others to do one better.
So WELCOME everyone!
