canary

Hi All! This is my first post, so bear with me if my ettiquete is a little off :) I have a beautiful little Harz Roller canary, Pablo. She (i'm assuming) has been with me for about two years now and has recently started to exhibit some strange behaviour. There are no other birds around as my...

Hi, I’m new to this website, so sorry if I’m posting this in the wrong section; I’m still figuring things out. I’m getting a canary in July, but I want to make sure that I have a proper cage. For those of you that have owned a single canary before, or just have more knowledge than I do, is...

Hello, I have a female canary that is sneezing, coughing, wheezing and breathing heavily,and is always fluffed up, she also seems tired. this is a video of her that I took today. She still eats. She started showing symptoms like this yesterday. I'm giving him Enrofloxacin in the water and I've...

My canary Spice has been making a weird clicking sound lately. He started doing it last night, and it’s not consistent, but he does it every now and then. He also has been talking queitly, as though he’s struggling to make a sound. He’s never really been a vocal bird at all, but it’s noticeably...

update: my canary fledglings are now 1 month old. today morning i woke up to see the youngest fledgling dead in the cage next to his siblings, i got really sad but it got worse as i saw his siblings having what looks like a seizure episode they were jumping, flapping their wings like crazy and...

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...

Hi guys! I just got a new canary today named Spice! :heart: I bought him home a few hours ago, and he seems fine and is eating and drinking, but his 'chirps' are really soft... My other canary, Chili, has a high-pitched, long chirp, but this one has a kinda low, short chirp. It's only the first...

Hi guys I’m new to this site and am just here to look around at any advice and see what I can learn from you clever bird people so I can share some knowledge myself :) I have 2 canaries Sunshine and Lemon who are my obsession, I am exited move onto a little bit bigger birds soon but for now I...

Hello all! Recently, someone near me put up a yellow fronted canary (green singing finch) up for adoption. I think they are really interesting looking birds, sadly it seems like there isn't much unique information on them, mostly just basic "finch" information. Does anyone have experience with...

I have just recently bought a canary and discovered 2 cysts, caused by ingrowing feathers, one on each place where the shoulder would be in the wings, after much research I am left with a decision, do I keep picking the feathers out every time they appear, risking infection each time they do...

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 everyone. I have been wanting to get indoor birds for quite sometime, having had outdoor birds for about a decade (chickens, ducks, quineas, and a turkey). A have a few questions that I cannot find answers to. 1. Just how sensitive to fumes are these birds? I've been Teflon-free for years...

This happened before about a year ago, if I had to guess around the same time as now, after my canary's molt (stopped seeing loose tail feathers in/around his cage). What happened was he bites his back, but he doesn't know when to stop and it got to the point where he started bleeding a...

What makes it funny is that he will stand by his target for a bit, then slowly get closer. He does this to food, paper, and any sort of string materials lol I watched him go for my breakfast--this is not the first time he's done this... Worry not, I didn't let him get any. Has anyone else...

I work at a pet store, and our canary recently started laying eggs. At first, I was removing them, then after a quick search, I learned that was bad to do, so I stopped doing that. She has currently laid them in her food dish, despite a nest being in the cage, so I put a second food dish in...

Sadly, I have to go to the Philippines for 18 days; which means I won't be able to take care of Peeps for that long. I have made all the preparations, and will have my brothers take care of him while I'm gone. Having to go through with this made me realize how much time I spend at home with...

About a month or so ago, I posted about Peeps becoming pretty fluffy on his left side. Today, I noticed he was chewing on some of the feathers on his right side. Despite looking ruffled, I don't see any bare skin nor any signs of plucking. Do canaries begin to look like this when they're aboutto...

Peeps has been getting braver and even more playful lately :) He would actually stand on my phonescreen or keyboard while I'm using them, and he would try to peck on my fingers in such an adorable way. I hope to capture that momentsome day. It makes me especially happy when he jumps onto my...

Hi there! Yesterday I brought home 3 canaries (a hen, buttercup and two cocks, prince and chase) for breeding. I still need to get another hen, but thats besides the point. Yesterday all 3 were happily flying around my aviary, all very active and seemingly healthy. This morning I went into the...

Hello! Does anyone know any possible reasons why canaries would start favoring one foot? I noticed that he would occasionally put up his right foot, but then he would still fly and jump around all over my room. Here's an example of both: I'm worried because it's not the foot with the claw...
