Hello, I'm new to this forum. I want to get a canary, but I want to make sure I do it right. I haven't had a bird since I had a pet budgie as a child. There is a lot of conflicting information out there on the internet. First, can I get a single male, or will he be lonely? I've read not to keep 2 males together. I could get a male and a female, but I don't want them to breed. Is there a way to prevent it? Would it be better to have one male and several females? Is a 30x18x18 cage big enough? I'm trying to decide between that and a 32x18x37 with a stand. How should I furnish the cage? I want to get all set up and make sure I'm prepared before I actually get the birds. What about food? If I'm reading correctly it should be a mixture of seed, pellet, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Is that correct? Thank you in advance. I'm sure I'll have more questions but this is a start. Thank you.
