"I just bought your book "Brats in Feathers". I have and love canaries. I have purchased many books over the years, but this one has the best and most understandable information on these wonderful little "brats". I am now breeding a pair of Glousters ... and have 3 chicks less than a week old. I also have American Singers. Your book has helped me so much - you can always learn. I thank you for that." Sandi L, NY

"...Robirda has a chock full of experience raising canaries and her website is loaded with incredibly helpful and comprehensive information about how to properly care for them. I can't tell you how many times I've gone to her website, looking for an answer to some question or problem I'm having -- and sure enough, I always find helpful information. Her book is fabulous, as well."

" ...We hope it reaches every pet owner and makes them sit up and take notice... bless you for the excellent job you are doing educating bird owners."

"It's SO beautiful, and the photos and illustrations are wonderful, I love it!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!"

"I really hadn't realized what a wonderful writer you were until I read the book. I mean I love your web articles... but with more room you really were able to soar."

"You are a terrific writer! Can't wait to see more!"

"I'll start off by saying that seed sprouting did not register with me until I got my copy of 'Brats in Feathers'. My first attempt was a disaster until I read about stale seeds. That's when you told me about Herman Bros and I placed an order with them. I sprouted four teaspoons of the Herman Bros 'soak seed' mix, according to your recipe in Brats and they were ready today. The results are almost miraculous. Enrico sang from 9am until noon. I am hearing 'riffs' I didn't even know he was capable of. I also went to the organic food store and got some fresh kale and a leaf as big as my hand lasts about 1/2 hour. He absolutely loves kale. Enrico has gotten less aggressive, flies to his sprouts perch which is inches from my hand and waits for his sprouts and NOW is singing like his namesake, Don Enrico Caruso. Your book has been yellow magic marked to unrecognizability. What a wealth of information." P Cruise, SC

"Since my father received your book, he has read it from front to back. My dad is 85. Five weeks ago he got his first (canary) babies, he was so thrilled... out of 4 eggs the hen laid, 3 survived. They are SO beautiful! Any day now, there should be 4 more. Without the book to follow, we don't think we would have been this lucky. There is so much detail! Also his male birds are singing nicely, your CD came in handy too." S. B., USA

"Thank you so much for the book on canaries. That is a really nice book. I needed one, because I bought my Mom two canaries, a male and a female, we don't know anything about them. I'm so glad to have this book, I couldn't believe how much was in there. Thank you so much!"  

"...your advice has given us excellent assistance in keeping our canary alive! The advice of other 'experts' nearly killed him, including two vets who did NOT know about canaries, and gave us dangerously wrong advice."


This site is dedicated to all of those who try to help others on our journey to a better
tomorrow, and especially to Jack Merkens, whose last words to me were "Promise
me you'll keep writing about those canaries! Never stop, ok? Promise!"
Okay, Jack. I promise.
