Breeding a Crested to normals is quite okay but you must understand about the prepotency of the crested gene in the crested bird. Breeding just any crest to a normal may lead to the dissaperance of the variety in your aviary. Breeding Crest to crest first is the best. F/C - F/C gives a chick which I call a DF this is the bird to out cross to the normal and any chick that is crested bring it back to the F/C. Link to comment

Sort of remind me of one of the three stooges. ( the one with the basin haircut) l.o.l. I didnt like them at all when I first saw them, even though I have crested canaries at home. However they are so cute and funny and comical looking ( mostly all small ) that they tug at the strings of your heart. I may get some going in the future myself. Link to comment
