Al Mitchell - 2013-02-23 I am looking for a pair of Gloster canaries to purchase in the Philadelph Pa area, does anyone know of a breeder in that area ?
L K - 2013-01-13 I have two non-crested Glosters that made a nest for the third time now. Each time all the chicks died after a couple of days. This time 4 eggs hatched but I see only the first two are still there, the last egg hatched yesterday but that chick died as well as the one that hatched the day before it. What could be the reason? Please help, as I don't want to lose any further chicks.

chris - 2013-02-05 Remember that you cant breed 2 non crested (consorts) toghether. They have to be 1 crested with 1 non crested or vice versa. That why they are dying.

L K - 2013-01-17 Sorry, I also asked a question about canary breeding but havent got a reply ever since. My chicks are long ago dead already. I think the mistake was in breeding two consorts instead of one consort and one corona. So yeah, I think it is better to join a canary forum where we can get quick answers.
Mo - 2013-01-12 I have two male Gloster Canaries and I would like to know if they can mate with the female of any of the following: American Singers, Border, German Rollers, or Spanish Timbrados. If yes what breed would the babies be?
L K - 2012-10-29 I have a pair of canaries whos eggs just hatched. I discovered what I think is bird lice all over the cage. What do I do now? How can I treat such young chicks?? Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Charlie Roche - 2012-10-29 I'd just throughly change the bedding and use carefresh. That is in case the lice/mites came from the bedding. That might be the only thing you have to do. Also freeze the food you are feeding (seed) for 24 hours before using to kill anything that came in with the seed. Clean the cahe (wipe it down) as best you can. Do all this slowly trying to disrupt the babies and mom and dad as little as possible.
L K - 2012-10-29 Thank you very much. Your advice is very much appreciated!

Charlie Roche - 2012-06-28 No I would not try and clean it. I know sounds awful but they are very protective of their babies and nest box. The babies might get hurt because the parents try and protect the box. The 'new smell' might set them off.
Anonymous - 2012-08-10 How old are Glouster Canaries when they grow their mop? I keep looking at my 2yr old, thinking it's top feathers are growing, but it could be my imagination.

Charlie Roche - 2012-08-10 They acieve their mop when they achieve sexual maturity. However, it is the Gloster Corona that achieves the crest (mop). The gloster does not.
Haven McMaster - 2012-06-04 I have a crested male and a corona female gloster. I had them flown in about a month ago. I have had to separate because they are fighting. I noticed the male's crest is missing feathers on top and saw feathers on the bottom of the cage. He sings, and she only chirps. Why is she so mean to him???

Charlie Roche - 2012-06-04 My guess is that the male is interested in mating and the female isn't as of yet. So he approaches and she isn't ready. Now if she is 'preening' his crest feathers - she is starting to be ready. She is just over preeening. It actually can be the other way around where she wishes to mate and he isn't ready. Just give it some time. They will get it together.
The Gloster Fancy Canary, a favorite among both expert and beginning enthusiasts, is one of the most popular canaries!
I want to know why did my canary stop singing is it to do with his food or can you plse assist me Many thanks
