When those little incubator olives hatch, you get bumblebees with beaks.

Why is the incubator full of.....olives?

They look cute as a button!

Gouldian breeding season is here with pairs beginning to build nests!

Then the long, long wait until next June to know what is available for purchase.

One of the canary pairs snuck a couple babies out! Both lizards it appears. Once sexed one or both will become available.

GOULDIANS AND CANARIES SOLD OUT UNTIL JUNE 2024.

See you next season!

Gouldian season has wrapped up which means the canary season has started. The birds here are given the opportunity to build their own nests or use assorted types of manufactured nests. Most choose to build their own.

The gouldians seem to have come to the end of their season. As soon as chicks have finished their molt they will be available for sale. Lots of black headed chicks this year! Once birds are about 50% molted I will post sneak peak images of available birds.

Now the aviary is gearing up for canary breeding season. As I am working with new stock with the potential of unknown recessives there will hopefully be some really interesting results.

Gouldian chicks are fledging!

Earlier this year I began keeping canaries again. This young c**k is a lizard canary. I will begin producing red factor lizards and mosaics next season.

22/09/2022

Gouldian chicks have begun hatching! Expecting about a lot more babies this season compared to last.

16/08/2022

Gouldians are SOLD OUT for the season.

With the arrival of H5N1 (avian influenza) in Saskatchewan, you can rest assured that Finches of Splendor always takes biosecurity of our flock very seriously!

20/03/2022

The gouldian breeding season is coming to an end with the second clutches now fledged. This batch of youngsters will become available for sale this fall when their first molt is complete.

Prices start at $75 per bird. Trades considered for other birds. Looking for star finches especially.

This season's gouldians have begun hatching. There is a clutch of 5 so far.

An active zebra nest required a refresh of clean material and a minor bath for the three chicks. Here they are post blowdry.
