| Baby Canaries Saturday morning, I got a call from a lady that owns a pet store. She had gotten up that morn to find her mom canary dead and there were two little ones that were becoming quite weak. She was wondering if my canary would tend to them, so I went up and got the babies. I fed them right away because they were growing weaker by the minute. Got them going on food and a little stronger and then put the nest in my canary cage. That didn't work, so I have been hand feeding them ever since. They were 1 week old when I got them...naked of any feathers and looked like little space aliens. Now they are beginning to get feathers and I'm sure, in another week, they will be fully feathered. I'm in love with these little darlings. Their eyes opened the second day I had them so now they think I'm mom! LOL I feed them every hour to hour and a half, except at night. I've got some pictures and will post more here as I get them. I feel pretty confident that I will get these little ones to adulthood!

| Connie, you're an angel. You saved them! They really are starting to get their feathers. I'm excited to get a chance to follow their development.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Connie they are coming along nicely with your loving care. Can't wait to see them all feathered out. Those are going to be some nicely tamed babies.

| How prescious!! Your pics brought back many fond memories...as I have successfully hand raised 2 baby canaries as well. It was years ago. The parents just wouldn't feed them. So...I took over with a dropper and pet store baby bird gruel. It was so much fun to watch them grow and to see if any were males. I ended up with one of each. Good luck with your babies!! I will check back for new pics as they grow.

| When I was little, I tried to feed a baby bird. If I remember correctly, the nest had been blown out of a tree during a storm. It died. My next encore came when I tried to save a baby rabbit. It died, too. In fact, I had a funeral for it and buried it in a little shoe box in our orchard. I'm sure you'll be much more successful than I was.
