1881s only Canary and Mule Breeder

Canary and Mule Breeder

Quite a challenge breeding canaries and mules ... no wonder no-one else wanted to do it!   

Well spotted!

[samesizedfeet]

I'm hoping that it's not a cross-breeding programme

 

[Paul E]

Well, if it were male mules and female canaries I guess the canary would be VERY cross!

Sorry to disappoint but i've just found this definition in the dictionary:

"Mule.  Def. 2.  any hybrid animal: a mule canary."

However, this should cheer you all up.  In 1881 Kansas was a CANARY RIDER  and in Virginia there was a girl called DONKEY PIATT (shame about the 'i').
