Abstract
Despite a divergence of opinion as to
the time of the year when canaries should
be paired for breeding, ultimately it is the
hen that decides the issue. However, assuming
that she is mature enough, a
breeder can help hasten the normal process
by offering extra rations of food
rich in protein and Vitamin E, lengthening
the daylight hours by means of an
inexpensive timer to gradually extend
artificial lighting into the evening until
about 8:30 or 9 p.m . and by providing
a little extra warmth. "Mother Nature can
be fooled" and she doesn't seem to mind
a bit!
