Hello. I am 82 and after a lifetime of having companion cats and dogs now have a pet canary. I've just joined AA to educate myself on how to identify and meet her needs and to enjoy the company and expertise of other bird enthusiasts. So excited and grateful to have found you. Thank you for...

Welcome Karen and "friend"! What is your canary's name?
Don't be shy to ask any of the questions you might have along the way.
Birds are very different from cats and dogs but they can be great companions.
One of the first things to realize is that cats/dogs are predators, but canaries are prey animals and that can help you understand tham.

Thank you for warm welcome. Her name is Chiara and like her namesake Maria Chiara, a Diva with a beautiful voice but shortened career, she loves to sing along with opera arias I play for her and is fast becoming my new best friend.

Welcome! I love canaries! They’re the only bird on my one day list. I currently have budgies. :)

How awesome!!!
One thing you may not be aware of as a new bird owner, is their sensitivity to " fumes" and toxin. The big one is the chemicals in non stick cookware, baking sheets, air fryer, space heaters. The stuff that's in Teflon and product
Like that. When heated lets off a gass that csn kill birds in seconds, even in a different room, or floor of your house . The gas is deadly to birds , there aren't second chances . So we all have to read and research products. I use only glass, stainless steel, pyrex, or cast iron to cook with.
