Bought a beautiful male Fife Canary. He sings and is healthy.
5 stars on my end result. This baby girl is beautiful! She’s already adjusting well to her new home on day one. I had anxiety issues on no communication for a week after the purchase and for her health during shipping. But she was set up better than I’d read online. She had food and water and was received healthy after the 48 hour trip.
Communication the week after purchase could be worked on.
