These chicks have been fed well by the parents. They have very full crops, the yellow bead of food in their neck is the crop.

Greens for the Canaries.

 This is my wildflower weed patch where the chickweed grows.

 This is a close up of a mature chickweed - you can see the shape of the leaf.

 This is one full chickweed plant. It spreads in a circle and  has a tiny white flower. Bottom right  corner is a dandelion. Also good and rich in vitamins for canaries. Top left is the plant I am seeking ID on..

This I call, "Take Over" as you can see if you zoom in, the plant I need to ID has taken over the chickweed. Chickweed is a spring plant and soon will be gone for the year..so I like to take advantage of this and feed it everyday till it is gone for the year. The fledges love to play with it and spend much time eating and dragging it around like a toy. "its that little string inside the stem, you see"

This years new chicks

And I don't have to chop carrots and they get their Vitamin A. Mixing this juice with my cornbread mix.

 I am so far really pleased with the Perle Morbide. Of course I will know more about the egg laying at the end of the season. PM is easy to prepare and I just add it to my cornbread mix and the birds eat is without concern that it is new.

Perle Morbide Bianche is designed for white birds. It can replace germinated seeds - improving egg laying, growth index and removing black spot in white birds eggs.

• Quick and easy preparation

• Completely edible

• Egg laying improved by 20%

• Elimination of mycosis and other diseases risks caused by germination process

• Can decrease Black Spot

• Can increase growth index

• Chance to add in the water any medicament or water soluble additive

 Putting a new light on breeding..How exciting.
