    I several times saw drawings of the London Fancy in old books and thought everytime what a pity that this breed is gone. Thanks to Mr. Knowles and his fellow breeders for the effort to bring them back! Best regards from Austria!

    I’ve lost count the amount of times I’ve watched this video. I know when I finally get back into the hobby it’s the London fancy I would like to work with. Over thirty years ago I remember seeing a picture of one in cage and aviary ( well a model of one ) and couldn’t get over the fact they where almost if not gone . The work that Richard and others are putting in is outstanding.

    "...we've moved on to a new level..." Understatement of the year!!! And at the end: his simple rundown of the basics that 'don't cost a fortune' and saying "... it is a hobby that you can be a part of with a minimum amount of money." is a good reminder. :)

    I can remember about 45 year's ago a old canary breeder telling me about this bird. He was saying his Dad and Grandfather keeping This bird. But war came and the house's in the street both of them lived in got 💣. Flattering the houses and out buildings. Killing the birds when the men were at war in France. When they can back their hearts was not in it. Thank god this Gentleman is bringing it back. Thank you for letting us see them. Instead of in paper's and book's.

  • @breedingaviandinosaurs2728

    My respect for the persons who are bringing this extinct beautiful canary breed back. Here in the Netherlands there are also a few breeders working with the London fancy. I saw them for the first time at the world show a couple of years ago and was very impressed by them. Very interesting episode, thank you for sharing this with is! 👍👍👍

    Do you ever interview people who breed canaries for their singing ability? I guess they don't have classes at shows for them. 😕
