beautiful healthy green singers , I wish they have such quality birds for sale here in Shanghai, I find the chinese birds are not as good qualities perhaps because of lack of proper nutritions for breeding birds, the chinese birds are usually smaller and not quite into egg food and live worms. I tried feeding them egg food and they refuse to eat them
Green Singers vary considerably in size both by individuals and by local population of origin. Even within the same wild population, the largest adults may be nearly 2X the weight of the smallest. There are also several closely related African finches that have similar colors and patterns to Green Singers, but are larger and have thicker plumage. Green Singers show little or no interest in eggfood or mealworms unless they are breeding, particularly when they are feeding babies. Like Canaries, some won't even feed their babies with eggfood, even if they themselves were raised on this. They love fresh greens such as Dandelion and Chickweed. Green and Gray Singers are adapted to a lower protein and fat diet than their Canary and Goldfinch cousins, and show very limited interest in the oily seeds such as Niger and Thistle that Canaries and Goldfinches require. They readily eat small finch millet, which Canaries and Goldfinches won't eat unless they are starving.
@@motherlandbot6837 thanks for sharing. yes there is a species that look exactly like the green singer and twice as big and sometimes three times as expensive and the chinese called it greater golden finches (they called green singer golden finch here ). with limited knowledge of spoken chinese its hard to communicate with the local chinese, the chinese people are serious bird lovers but recently due to covid many bird shops has to be shut down and getting hold of a bird is pretty difficult , only recently that I have started to see some finches in the market and bought myself two few months old green and grey singers, I have been trying to get hold of some imported quality birds like Norwich canaries or even black throat or lemon finches but its impossible as the chinese government has started to banned imported birds maybe due to covid or long term its hard to say . I find imported green singers or grey singer have better song qualities than the local chinese bred birds. its so hard to get good quality canaries like German rollers, crested Norwich or even Russian canaries, what they have here is scrawny loud screaming red factor canaries.
@@motherlandbot6837 by the way I am a Australian Japanese and deciding to retire soon and breed birds as a hobby or semi professional , don't know where but its always have been dream, presently working and living in Shanghai china and have travel extensively throughout china and many part pf asia to meet finches breeders.
Good day Gilberto, I really need your advice on my pair of the green singer Canary a male and a female, both used to be in the same large cage with nesting material believing they will breed after seeing them trying to mate, but it wasn't successful and I notice that the male always being aggressive towards the female, I bought a divided cage for both of them thinking that after some weeks apart but seeing each other through the divided and put them together after 3 weeks but still the male is still fighting and chasing the female with aggressive behaviour to the hen. Please advise me on which method to use, as I'm really interested in breeding and always watch all your videos... Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks
@@bebeto203 im in california, i breed type canaries, have you bred hybrids green X grey. Also the green singers are easy to breed & do they feed their own checks
Dear friend, I wish to communicate with you. I have some questions about this beautiful bird. I am an Arab from Iraq. I have a mention of Mozambique and I want to know more about it.
I have a young Mozambican male I want to produce from him and I do not have a female but I can buy a wild girl or a small wild one, so advise me on the one hand to put the cage and breeding nest
