Subject: Thank You Ginger........bird is doing well!

Hi Ginger:

Just a short note to thank you once again for creating the 
opportunity for me to purchase one of your lovely birds.  He is 
singing happily and took a bath yesterday.  Have a wonderful holiday 
and I hope to meet up with you again some day.  Thanks for all the 
good advice on care too.  I know that this canary will be much 
happier than my last one as a result.

Aloha,
B.S.



Hi Ginger, 

I enjoyed meeting you and seeing all your birds. They are all so
cheery and good-looking.  I named my little guy Rufus. He is
settling in well. The other bird are very calm and quite since he
arrived. They sit and watch him for long periods.

He is eating well; his pellets and some carrot and some corn. (The
parakeets like the Kaytee pellets too.) He had one or two watery
droppings at first, but they are fine now.

He sang! He seemed to be feeling more secure and comfortable, making
little vocalizations; then he started feather displays! And to top it
off he let out two longish songs! Very pretty and not too loud. I
think we were all excited and pleased. I know it delighted me!

Good luck with the rest of your flock - you've raised this one well -
he's a confident happy little guy.

thanks again.

Ginger,
We got home about an hour ago and the canary is doing fine.  Right now,
he's devouring a stalk of broccolini.  He's so mild and sweet....really
nice, calm personality.  He's bright, alert and agile.  C. has really
taken to him right away. The  quality and care you put into your birds
is very evident.  Thank you so much and I'll keep in touch!

With Gratitude,
J.



Subject: thank you for your canary website

It's pretty upsetting to read about how much space canaries need and like, 
and yet to find only such inappropriate cages. Your website helped me to 
locate some internet retailers with much better selections than any local 
pet stores I've visited. Thank you so much!

Subject: My new Friend!

Our new canary is incredible.  He started singing the day after we
brought him home and he hasn't taken a breath.  His songs are
absolutely beautiful and we're so delighted with his music filling our
home!!  Thank you!!  B.



Dear Ginger,
 
We are happy there's a bright note in our day!  We've already picked a
name for birdie "Figaro" (who loved the opera and Vivaldi) when I
played the CDs yesterday. He already started chirping, and this
morning is in full song.
 
We really love our added addition to our family!
 
Thank you kindly for providing this service that you do.  I know it
takes up a lot of your time.  I appreciate your devotion.
 
Best of luck in your next show!
 
Sincerely,
D.L.



Hello, how are you doing?  Just wanted to let
you know how much we are enjoying our little canary. Terry named him
Cricket but we mostly call him Short Stuff. He sings all day long and
is quite personable.  If a stranger comes in, we just whistle and he
will start to sing. He has also added lots of notes and clicks and
warbles. He is very calm when I clean his cage and loves his greens.
We have had a little problem getting his food but Petco promised to
order it to be here on Monday. We still have some that you gave us,
enough to last until then, for certain.  Where do you buy the pellets?
Also where did you get those neat water containers.  Haven't been able
to find ones like yours yet. Looking forward to hearing from
you. J and T D.

Hi Ginger,

I just want to let you know how pleased I am with the canary I
purchased from you on July 4th 2001.  I haven't emailed you for quite
a while and wanted to give you an update.  My little Reepicheep is the
most delightful bird I've ever had.  He has an endless curiosity about
anything and everything.  He adds a couple of new sounds or short
songs to his repertoire every year.  He talks (chirps and trills) to
me whenever I talk to him.  He has such a friendly personality and is
adventuresome too.  His songs are strong and beautiful.

The fact that he was pellet-raised has been so easy....I just
supplement with fresh greens and veggies.  His health is excellent.  I
take him in to see my avian vet 3-4 times/year to have his nails
clipped, his weight checked, and a general "physical" exam. Reepicheep
even sings while we're in the waiting room!

Reepicheep is not bothered if I have a towel on my hair or have no
makeup on.  I have him in my big King's cage and it has worked out so
well for him in terms of freedom of flight and convenience in
cleaning.

He is very well-known among my students because of the stories I bring
in to class about him.  I've taped him and also share his beautiful
songs with my students. I wrote an article to Gary Bogue in The Valley
Times about how last summer he began imitating the sounds of our
backyard mockingbird.

Ginger, thank you so much for rearing him so well.  Reepicheep is my
biggest treasure.  Hope all is going well with you and your canaries.

Sincerely,
J.K.



Ginger,

   Just a quick note to let you know that the canary that I bought from
you on Thursday is doing great! He adjusted right away and even the
first day was not acting at all stressed. Yesterday he started singing
a little bit and today his song is already louder, longer, stronger
and more frequent. I imagine that in another week he'll be in full
song.
   It was great doing business with you and learning a bit more about the
showing aspect. You're exactly the kind of breeder that I enjoy doing
business with and I would definitely return if I decide to buy another
bird.
   Thanks again and happy holidays to you and yours.

Hi Ginger, I wanted to let you know how my new bird is doing, but
first I wanted to thank you for all the time and information you gave
me.  It was a great experience!

My new bird is settling in very nicely. The drive back took a couple
of hours so it was dark when I got home. I put the little guy in his
new cage and he began eating and drinking right away.  Next he
investigated everything in his new cage, hopping from perch to perch
and chirping away. I let him explore and snack for about 1/2 hour
before dimming the lights and partially covering the cage. He settled
down right away.

The next morning I uncovered him and within 10 minutes he was singing!
He sang most of day! His song is very nice and he's adding more and
more variety. Besides his wonderful singing, he is friendly and alert
and has a sweet disposition. Now to pick a name for him...

Thank you again Ginger!!

Just wanted to thank you for the beautiful canary I bought from you
yesterday. He was chatting away with my other 2 canaries as soon as I
brought him home. Then within a few hours he was softly singing. Today
he is softly singing also, my other 2 are much louder. But I am sure
after he gets used to me he will be singing like he did at your
place. He is beautiful and I wanted to say thanks for your hard work.

Leslie and I just want to say Thank you very much for
such a fine bird!  Our little American Singer was
singing 10 minutes after he transferred to the big
cage.  And it seems he hasn't quit since. Honestly,
he fills the house up with song - a real singer!  We
had 10 people over for the holiday's and he put on a
real show.
 
We named him Yankee Doodle.
 
thx
B and L
