canaries

Hello all, I do not know if you remember me, long time not coming here due to sad reasons. Anyway I have some news. For several days now we were fostering two canaries, 1 male and 1 female. We learned that the owner will not be able to keep them anymore (a very nice person, I will not get...

I'm currently looking for a cage for a canary that I'm getting in a month or so, and am wondering if anyone has any recommendations. Length can be up to 75cm, depth 45cm, and no more than 150cm high. I'm placing the cage on a shelf, so I would prefer not to have a built-in rolling stand. Would...

Hi! I've had tweety for 4 years, and his back has been like this for a few months. I thought it was just molting at first but I think it's not the right season for that. I honestly don't know what to do, whenever I go near he spreads his wings and opens his beak as if he were to get agressive...

I am aware that in general, canaries are solitary birds and prefer their own space. Our girl Marigold is different. When we first got her, she was housed alone and was very needy, always looking for attention. Once she was housed with our other female (crested) canary named Tangerine, she was...

Hi, we got these 2 canaries last year in May (2020) and we were told that they are 3-4 months and that they are a male and a female. So we named them Mira (female) - the brown one and a bit smaller and Seb (male) - the yellow one. They are a bit older than a year now and we still cannot tell if...

Forgive me if this is in the wrong thread! I did see the dummy eggs master post but I didn't think I could find anything that currently fits my situation. Earlier this season my canary hen was laying eggs like crazy. Definitely too many. I got some dummy eggs as quickly as I could that have...

So I recently got a pet canary as a gift, and so far he's been well, happy and singing. Today thought, he's very silent and he keeps ruffling his feathers and grooming them I think, I'm not sure. I saw someone say that during their moulding periods male canaries don't sing (he's a male) and...

Hi. I am in despair. About three month ago I got a female canary. At first the bird was curious about everything and friendly. Usually she was sitting on or near me while I was sleeping, playing with paper, ropes, exploring shelves. And she was often sitting on shoulders or head. She still does...

I've had my 2 hens (i think they're hens...don't know for sure) for a few months now, and they've settled in at home nicely :) I've done a lot of reading to make sure I'm taking care of them the best I can, but I am still unsure of how to do one thing: taming! It's the kind of thing where...

I'm still a bit new here, so forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong section. I just picked up my first birds (they're canaries!!) ever a few weeks ago now! This week I'm starting to notice signs of them molting...does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to help them get through it?

Hello i’m a new canary owner and today i saw the 2 canary babies leave their nest and are refusing to go back they’re 3 weeks old, except one baby who’s still in the nest who’s also smaller than his two siblings. the problem is he isn’t being fed by his parents and idk what to do they must’ve...

I am new here, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right category. I have a red mosaic canary that is either a satinette or isabel. I would like to buy a female to breed him, and was thinking of buying a lipochrome red mosaic. Is this a good combination to breed? What if I buy a plain white...

I was given two canaries (one female and one male) by my cousin who could not care for them anymore and I've had them for about a year and a half. In April, the female canary had to be taken to the vet to have her leg band removed because it was constricting her. I had kept her in a separate...

hi! Lil’ kid me would love to take care of a canary, but I have some questions; 1. Which gender is more cuddly/ talk/sing better? 2. How much of what food do they need daily? 3. How messy are they? Can they be potty trained? 4. Do they need pairs? 5. How long can they be left alone? 6. What are...

What are your favorite DIY toys for your canaries/finches? And what materials are safe to use? I'm scared of using plastic beats and stuff like that :(
