Welcome to
Zibby's Birds
Zibby's Birds is located in the Northern
Chicago Suburbs and has been breeding birds
for many years. The focus is on breeding canaries because of their beauty
and peaceful song. Most people think of a canary as a small, yellow singing
bird; like TWEETY on the cartoons. Well actually, more like those found in pet stores everywhere.
I, on the other hand,
am interested in breeding types of canaries that most people do not even know
exist.
The Norwich
Canary, Parisian Canary, and the Red Factor Canary
Below are my birds
as an example of each:
I created Zibbys
Birds web site to help those looking for interesting canaries. It seems
that the natural progression is that once you get a REGULAR canary then
your out to find that special one.
There is still some
privately owned pet shops that have quality canaries but they are slowly
diminishing, replaced by large chains. Therefore the search begins in local
newspapers, bird shows, breeders, and web sites. Unfortunately in most
of these you need to drive somewhere and usually still not get the bird
you wanted. Breeders on the web sites are usually out of town and do not
have pictures making it difficult to find that particular bird that you
would like. Its like art, first you need to see it. Especially in breeding
TYPE CANARIES where the color, stance, feathering and build is important.
The song is just a wonderful bonus.
The canaries that
I am selling are on my FOR SALE page, where
I have their pictures posted. What you see is what you get.
My canaries are housed
in large cages. I built a VIP cabinet to enclose the cages. They are in
the sun room which is also my sons play room. They adjust to the activity
and feel comfortable to sing while there is activity all around them.
| I
have imported most of my breeder stock. The Norwich Canaries are from an International
Judge and the Parisian Frill Canaries are from a show winning breeder. I
imported my breeder stock in order to begin with a new bloodline. Most
of the rare canaries in the United States came from a small group.
My birds are not
a profit center for me they are a passion. |
