CanaryNest has the most members of any canary forum but it can be a little slow. ColourCanaryForumotion is more active but if you arn't breeding colour canaries for show I would probably stick with CanaryNest. Canary forums tend to be even less active than budgerigar forums. Is there any specific canary breed you are interested in? Edited October 29, 2012 by Drogo Link to comment

Interesting that you are in Cairns as I have been sending birds to breeders down your way. The best canary forums are the ones mentioned above. I can pm you an old contact for the Yorkshire Norwich Canary Club of Queensland of you like. Cheers Edited March 8, 2013 by Drogo Link to comment

Other than the differences in type, they differ in that they are much easier to breed (don't need fosters to rear thier chicks) and cost less than the modern Norwich. It's also pretty hard to find Norwich in this country that arn't green whereas most Plainheads studs have variegated birds with at least some clears. Below is an Australian Plainhead. Note the difference in the neck. I have sent you a pm. Link to comment

If you are thinking of having birds shipped down, there is someone for whom I am sending birds to Cairns airport in a month or two when the birds finish moulting. It could be an oppurtunity for you and him to halve your air frieght costs. If you like this idea, I can let this other breeder know and give you his email address.

The birds arn't through the moult yet but some photos should give you an idea about what colours are available. I have emailed the other breeder in Cairns and when he gets back to me I should be able to provide you with his email address as well. Cheers Link to comment
