  • Welcome back!
    Today's video is about the diet of Canaries! We get asked a lot about what we feed our sweet yellow canaries and I think it is really important to educate on how their diet actually should look like!
    Let us know what you think about this video and also feel free to leave suggestions for the next video!
    ps. because I can't stress this enough, seed only diets are NOT enough for canaries to live off. We want out animals to thrive and not just survive!

    hi! I love your videos, and I was wondering, I've watched a lot of other 'bird youtubers' (there are so few canary specific UA-camrs), and I really enjoy whenever they make the 'reacting to subscribers bird cage' videos. Maybe that could be something you do in the future? Idk I'd love to see what you think on different canary setups. I still loved this video and can't wait for more

    Hi, I watch every video you made and it’s very interesting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I adopted an old canari which was not in a good family before (He has only one legs because his clip (ring?) was too tight and the leg necrotized and fell). I have trouble finding good information about this species, as many people keep them in a tiny cage and only think about reproduction.

    • @LemonBirbs
      @LemonBirbs  3 місяці тому

      That often depends on the diet people provide them 😄 a lot of people in different countries are not able to get the greens that would provide the protein, or do not feel like chopping up greens to provide to their birds 😅 in that case a package of eggfood from the pet store is the best option to provide protein to your birds 💛

    Hi, sorry for the off-topic question (and BTW I'm asking to the entire community)
    I'm willing to get a canary in the near future but I'm just afraid of his chirping.
    If it would come to me there wouldn't be a problem but I'm living in a condominium in wich there's a specific rule about the loud noises (from 22pm to 8am) so I'm just wondering if there's a way to muffle the sound in some way wich makes their chirping not that loud (I red that I possibly can cover the cage with something but I'm not sure about the efficiency of this move)
    Hope to find out an answers
    Thank to yall (sorry for my english tho but I'm actually from 🍕🍕land, )

    • @LemonBirbs
      @LemonBirbs  Рік тому

      Hii! No worries! Both my male and female canary are almost always loudly singing 😂 but as soon as the sun goes down they go to sleep and they wake up when the sun goes up again as well. You can indeed cover their cage at night and uncover them at 8am, but in my experience they know the sun is up and will sing or chirp anyway even when it's dark in the cage 🙈

    • @LemonBirbs

      We don't feed walnuts to our canaries, but I think fresh is easier for them to eat. Walnuts are a good source for nutrients, but keep in mind that it needs to be given in moderation (more as a treat) 😄

    My canary eats a lot of the soft egg food and very little of the seeds. Is this healthy for him? I used to have another canary in the past but it unfortunately died from overeating that.

    • @LemonBirbs
      @LemonBirbs  6 місяців тому +1

      Egg food and seeds together still do not cover all essential nutrients a canary needs, so it's not healthy for him (they needs vegetables, fruits and maybe it might be better to switch his diet to pellets instead). Also egg food only has to be give if your bird is breeding, moulting or needs a protein boost 😅

    Hey, super filmpje. Wij geven onze kanarie het meeste zaadmix en een klein beetje groente/fruit per dag of om de dag. Het is alleen niet zo'n ondernemend beestje, ook nooit geweest. Hij ziet er naar mijn mening wel gezond uit, maar hij wil niet graag naar buiten de kooi om eens lekker rond te vliegen. Zou dit misschien aan dieet kunnen liggen denk je of zou dat ook karakter kunnen zijn?

    • @LemonBirbs
      @LemonBirbs  Рік тому

      Dit kan heel goed ook karakter zijn inderdaad 😄 sommige kanaries hebben een rustig karakter en gaan liever scharrelen in plaats van de hele dag rondvliegen. Hun kooi is vaak ook hun "veilige haven", waar ze vaak met rust worden gelaten. Het zou ook kunnen zijn dat hij het zo gewend is om in de kooi te zitten, dat hij buiten de kooi zijn nog niet zo goed snapt

    What different veggies and fruits should I give my 4 canaries? I was told to not give any carrots bc it apparently makes cataracts form faster (one of them is blind in one eye from cataracts) and not too much sugar (like apples, other fruits, fruitblend pellets) too because she is also overweight.
    one is underweight so we need to give her favorite food more (apples).
    I’m not sure what I should introduce to make their diet better, they all live in the same cage

    • @LemonBirbs
      @LemonBirbs  4 місяці тому

      There is quite a big list of vegetables and fruits we can give our canaries, but the vegetables and fruits I often go for are broccoli, chicori, bell pepper, zucchini, cooked sweet potato, apple, melon, kiwi, banana, dandelion and sprouts (often alfa alfa sprouts) 💛
      Broccoli is the all time favourite in our household, they will literally fly in the fridge to reach it 😂

    • @LemonBirbs
      @LemonBirbs  3 місяці тому

      Do you know what causes the diarrhea? As you could "fight" the symptoms but they will come back just as fast if the cause is not found 😅
      If not then I have a few questions to maybe help getting to the cause of it 😄
      What are your canaries their diet looking like? Mostly seeds, or also vegetables and fruits, what kind of vegetables and fruits and how often?
      Is it possible they are sitting in a draft?
      What does their overal behaviour look like? Did they become less active when the diarrhea started or are there no differences in behaviour?
      Are you sure its diarrhea and not polyura (and increase of the urine in the droppings)? And what does the colour of the dropping look like and does it smell?
      If you want you can dm me on either Facebook or Instagram and send a photo of the droppings, that way I can help you a bit better and maybe see if I recognise the issue in the droppings 😄

      Mostly on their playgrounds that I have put in my house, but honestly if they are provided with the right diet the poops are not problematic at all. Teaching a bird to poop on command or in certain places makes the change of prolapses higher.
