I was gonna say that they're getting their flight feathers (first molt from baby down to real feathers). Isn't it amazing how fast they can grow? I just ordered leg bands for my baby canaries.. I've already got 2 brand new nests for the 2010 fall season (extremely early). Do you collect the feathers for pillows/comforters/etc? When I lived in NY, the amish raised geese for food, eggs, and the feathers.. it take a LOT of feathers for pillows, let alone a comforter!!
