    Just want to say that I love ur video. Helped me alot to know more about the birds. I have two super cute canaries since three months now... the first one we find him on the street in the rain and kept him, later we bought a female to keep him company. They are so happy together 😊💛

    My pair of zebra finches have just started using nest basket. Am well happy. Also got two male java sparrows in separate cage. I blow the chaff off the seeds and top up rather than waste good seed. My top tip! Thanks for this vid. Always good to get new ideas.

    Thank you so much! The other day I absolutely fell in love with a marshmallow colored canary at PetSmart, and I wanted to find out more! This video really helped me, and I am going to ask my parents for the wonderful bird soon... I know they will say no, but in the future when I get my own, I can say that I’ve done lots of research!

    I have two munia finches and just discovered a way to avoid throwing uneaten seeds on the small platters, I have a garden so I take the platters out of the cage and blow into them very softly so the shells fly away and voila! haven't wasted any birdseed since!.

    I believe all birds should be able to fly, don't get birds if ur just gonna keep them in the cage 24/7. Let them out for some free time to fly around at least for a few hours a day. My budgies have their own room and their cage stays open 24/7 so they can fly around as they please.

I got him purchased from a breader & got breeder cage 22 in long if want has a divider I don't use that my bird after molt last 9/20 7 am started singing and sings all day every day all the year till gets hot and sunrise changes. I got him 8 months old and the cage from breeder $30 for canary & $20 for cage great deal. can u tell me were by the seed feeder?. I like it idea. so true feeder cup much seed gets wasted so I pour it out in plastic tray him to eat what wants. he likes apple wedges. and love carrot shavings. I give him variety of treat seeds and food seeds. I am waiting to see if he just starts singing again at 7 am Sept 20, like he did lat year?

      +Sanuja Pangat Canaries can be fed dried meal worms and given a cuddle bone. But not all will use it. Mine have no interest in either one. They will eat hard boiled eggs and their canary supplements that have calcium (the bag I showed) so I don't have to provide the insects and cuddle bone. You just have to find out what yours like.

I’m leaning towards a clear yellow Fife male, but wondered if you could do a video on the different varieties of canaries? Also, from what I have read, two male canaries cannot be kept together, and a male and female kept together will breed, of course. I’m not looking to breed, so I don’t see how I can keep more than one. Any advice there? Thanks!

So then we only had one female finch who was already sick and now she was sad. So we went to the pet store that we got her from but they didn't have anymore finches to keep her company so we gave her to the pet store where they could look after her better than we could and we ended up getting a canary and we named him Rio and he LOVES me!!! So I'm happy but it's our first time owning a canary, so I guess what I've been trying to say is I'd really appreciate some advice!!!! By the way, I'm sorry this is sooo looong!!!

I've sat next him everyday so he gets use to me, never try to put my hand and but I do take him out so he can fly freely through the house. Instead he just goes back into the cage... He just loves eating lettuce and swinging all day

    I'm caring for a baby house finch that's nest was attacked by a crow. This bird survived and is ok but the other baby birds
    got killed. My neighbor rescued him and she works gave him to me when he was 12 days old.
    This is day 33 and baby bird is doing well. At first I was feeding him every hour or two for 15 hours a day and keeping him warm and clean in a little box inside a small cage. I think he is about 33 days old today. A week ago I put him in a large budgie cage with
    seeds and greens which he pecks at and eats a little of-but he still wants to be fed. So I still feed him 7-8 times day.
    People on FB said I should have taken it to a bird rehabber. I know it is illegal to keep him but I am afraid he will not survive if I release him now. Can I buy a society finch from the pet store so this wild house finch can have a friend?
    Another you tuber hold me that a canary is better companion for this wild hand raised house finch than a society finch.
    What do you think? Yet another UA-camr said canaries are solitary birds so I am confused.

      I let my canary (male) out every day, he flies off a bit, perches on the stereo speaker, and back to his cage, doesn`t seem to care for flying aroung that much

    We got a canary yesterday and yesterday he was alright, eating and chirping, but today I haven’t seen him eat much and he’s not drinking. He sometimes picks at his foot and hits his peak on the bar he’s standing on. I’m not sure if this is ok or not.

    Is it possible to tame adult canaries like parakeets?

      Marcie Cooper canaries are very different from hook-billed species of birds. Technically, you CAN hand train a canary, but it's pretty difficult and they really prefer to not be handled.

    I have 2 society finches living with 2 cockatiels in a 6ft x 6ft cage. No issues.
