I have 1 female timbrado laying an egg. The weird thing is that there is no male bird in the cage, how could this happen ? Is there any chances for the egg to hatch ?

    Females can lay eggs and they do not need a male in order to lay the egg. Female birds can just lay eggs (think of chickens). Because there is no male, the egg will not be fertile so it will not hatch. However, if she is sitting the egg, let her sit it for 14 days and she will probably lose interest and then just throw it out. Have fun.

Can you breed a recessive clear white Spanish Timbrados with another clear white Spanish Timbrados?

    There is no reason not to. They breed easily and there shouldn't be a problem. Remember, frequently the first clutch is for learning. They may not get it right for a couple of times - there aren't any adults (such as in a flock) for them to watch and mimic.

Can 'iceberg' lettuce harm my timbrado canary?

    I can't say that it would 'harm' them but it sure doesn't do them any good and it can give them diarrhea - so there is possible harm. There is no nutritional value in iceberg lettuce. Endive, kale - green leafy vegetables - great. Cabbage also can give them diarrhea. Too many grapes or too much fruit can also give them diarrhea so little fruit, green leafy vegetables and anything you eat that is nutricious is fine including chicken. Scrambled eggs with veggies -- great.

I have a one year old yellowish-green timbrado.He is testing out his voice but I have noticed,when I play canaries singing fron youtube, he has started to sing more and stronger too. I give him mixed seeds and clean water daily,also a treat everyday. For example a grape, a cooked egg, or lettuce. Got a question,are these treats good for him to eat?

    Cooked egg, scrambled egg (and you can leave the chell in as calcium) - anything that you eat that is nutricious he can have except avocado - and chocolate (sorry about that). Iceberg lettuce doesn't provide any nutition so go for the endive or kale and green kleafy vegetables. Those things aren't treats - maybe a grape is but one is fine. Piece of apple, chicken, brocoli - those are good foods. They are good for him - Just light on the fruit cuz diarrhea.

    Forgot the other part. There are bird singing DVD's and actual movies of birds singing. I use the movies and the birds seem to sing back or talk back keep rhythm etc. There might be actually canaries singing on a DVD (wrong word) that you can play for them. They will lie it.

    L:ittle guys freautly like little toys. A couple of small toys - possibly one with a small bell might make a good addition. You want to give them something they can sorta toss and make some little noises with. I would think - anyway.

    Hi Youssef,
    You could contact Pedro at Paradise Bird Shop in the borough of Brooklyn, New York City. He has many good Canaries of different types:

Hello,
As a breeder of Classic Spanish Timbrado Canaries, ...Canaries do need toys. They certainly do! They are very bright, smart, inquisitive birds and are much more content with 'something to do' being quite actively interactive with their toys. Toys of rope, string and paper are best.
Best Regards,
Susan Kuhne

    Hello Susan, As a breeder/keeper for many years of Fife and Gloster Canaries I have just discovered via the internet the charming Spanish Timbrado Canary-yourself being a breeder of this species could you help me in obtaining some of these birds, or do you know of any breeders in the Tarragona region in Spain? Thank you for any help or information that you may give to me.
