Simple Treats

      Canaries are easy to please. Here, a couple of uprooted rapeseed plants, in the midst of flowering, prove a welcome diversion, providing fun and exercise to a bunch of young canaries in mid-moult. They eat everything except the stringy stalks, including the soil along with the flowers, leaves, and buds. (another good reason to grow your greens organically). Just don't tell them that along with their fun, they're getting a good bit of nutrition as a bonus.
