ok here's my story hope someone has answers because I'am quite confused. My mom buys a yellow canary at petco...months go by and it never sings...so one day she goes back to petco and tells her Her story. petco tells her that its just too young give it time..so a couple months go by and now the yellow canary has laid two eggs in it's seed dish..so back to petco we go with eggs in hand and again we tell her story. petco then sales her a orange male canary it does sing we are told.....few months go by and my mom becomes a foster mother and finds she doesnt have the time to take care of all her birds so she gives them to me. So these canarys are fed eggfood,petamine,seed,apples,etc etc etc very happy little birds....today I look in the cage and counldn't find the orange male..found him in the seed dish sleeping...yellow female starts singing its little head off like an opera singer. what in the heck is going on?
