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.
My kind of gal, true animal lover!👍
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 tried that for a while with my canary feed bowls but just ended up with Seed kernels up my nose haha
@@anniesamuel4787 well breathing IN and exhaling are two very different things.
@@samistrash6262 I realise that. Blowing them makes them fly around in a circle in the bowl and up my nose
@@anniesamuel4787 Lol
I love your video. ❤
I love the hay bag idea 💡
Great video! One thing I would like to say is I had a problem with my zebra finches plucking the feathers off the canaries and quail in my aviary... to make their nests... even though they had nesting material... so people be careful if they have zebra finches.
Also forgot to say they love eating seeding grasses and that is very healthy for them too.
As soon as I saw your video I subscribed
your makeup looks stunning in this video, suits you so well!
This video is about birds. Ffs.
@@solitudeguard5688 relax! It’s just a compliment... guess you dont get them much
@@katiemago no, unfortunately not. I live a life of absolute misery and have nothing going for me.
@@solitudeguard5688 lol plkay
I’m getting 2 finches in 3 days video was really helpfull
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.
☺ my canary seems happy, i let him out every morning, he flies over to my society finches cage. then he/she loves to fly at & around my head. Why? doesnt sing either 😞
but i love my little buddy!
pauline stacey ☺ yeah, they definitely have their own personalitys. could he b singing when u r not home? i had a bird that did that for a while. & sometimes they go off their treats ( greens,chia or cooked quinoa,sweet potato, mashed irish potato,mine goes nuts for spaghetti).
Still.....i want to know why mine, flys at & around my head. is he angry at me?
☺
Let your canary listen to canary songs on youtube it will mimic them and will sing itself
ilias laachir It depends on the type of canary . The best singing canary is an yellow malinoa canary and the colourful canaries are not good singers
Мартин Сотиров
Only male canary sings
Ann Gamula its a female
TY Happy Tails. My friend really wanted a pet so they got birds. But they did NO research and stuff and just got them out of the blue.
Nice and inspirational video for me. Thanks for sharing.
you are my role model because I really want to be a vet
A wonderful video with a great deal of information. Thank You!
More bird care vids😍❤
Great video. I would love to see more bird videos
Best canary video ever. Thank you so much. You are amazing
I FRIGGIN LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Could you make a video on bonding with different animals ? especially birds? THANKS SO DAMN MUCH ! Keep doing what you're doing !
Great helpful video 👍
Hi thank you for showing up a nice video about canary. I have a lime canary but he is not singing that much. Could you please advice how can he be happy and sing. Thnkx
my birthday is in ten days, I have been researching finches since December and I've made space on my dresser for a large cage and my parents will only get me animals if it's a special occasion and I can prove that I will care for the animal and love him/her. My mom is on board but my dad,not so much. I'm petsitting two canaries for a week and I hope that my dad will see that I'm ready
So, how did it go?
I am interested in getting owl or Double-barred fiches and this was extremely helpful. Thought I might need to work with my vet who specializes in both rabbits, birds, and other exotics to give them a proper diet.
great video. I like the orange head canary . where does one get these travel cage? my bird is finishing up with his molting . 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? I really enjoyed ur video and tell you are very experienced about birds. I Wii subscribe and give u thumbs up.. Rocket.
+Rocket11213 thank you! I got the travel cages at a bird expo, sometimes pet stores have them. The bird feeder can be found in the garden section of a store. Like walmart or feed stores.
I love your videos, and I myself might possibly be getting two female rats! You are so knowledgeable, and keep up the great work!!! Can you possibly do a rat daily routine?
i really like your videos but idk what pet is right for me ao can you do a video what pet is right for you and the video really helped
YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Please reply
I agree
Hmm well what about a hamster or gerbil maybe bird dog cat or Guinea pig but they are loud not the hamster and ,aye gerbil you can also get a fish!
Have you watched my video, the best pets for kids?
I'm looking forward to a pair of parakeets or a canary on about a 1 1/2 so this was very helpful.
Hello great video hey what's the optimus temperature for canaries?
I have “pet” cardinals. It’s a male and female mating pair that lives in the bushes by my house who I put out seeds for in a bird feeder. They’ve gotten really use to me and the male now and then will fly down and sit near me, but not be petted.
Early I love your channel so much Megan
I really love your canarys
nice video...very helpful....there is a pet street near our house and in one of the stores they sell dried insect food for birds..can I feed canaries that insects??also do tell if they need a cuttlebone?
+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.
+Happy Tails thanx..I dont have one..soo curious..
Hi Meghan! I love your videos and they really help. Could you do a Budgie Care Video? Thank you so much xx
Whats a good Portable aviary would you reccomend?
I have 3 canaries. They like to fly around my room and sing beautifully. I think i got very lucky since I got the 3 canaries and a cage all for 50€.
Great video!
Are the care for parakeets the same for canaries and
And finches? What are your free ranged birds names? What are the chick's names? What are all your alpacas names? And do the funky bunch have individual names? What other pets do you have that you didn't mention In your meet all my pets video? Can u please do a turtle and a mouse care video please? By the way, I love your channel! Please answer my questions on your next q and a videos. I have asked u these questions before but have not gotten a answer back yet
can i spray my canary with water in winter ?
Can canary lives with budgies? PLEAS ANSWER!
Is there any way canaries can be potty trained? I like the idea of letting a canary have a lot of free flying time out of their cage but will they poop all over everything? Or do they only poop in certain places or what?
You are awesome!
I have a Canary that sings, but also paces even though I let him out to fly. Think I should get a finch for him (hand tame would be nice), Where can I get one Nashville that will be a good friend to my outgoing bird? Will he stop singing if I get another bird, he does if I put a mirror in the cage. Open to another Canary but was told they are better not caged together?
I wanna get a gloster canary there so cool looking and u can keep one canary but if u can get two
Thank You
My wife and I have canaries and they recently had 3 babies. They are both super awesome parents and they both take turns feeding them. My question to you is: can we leave them in the cage together or do we have to separate them at a certain point?
great video! Where do you get that that string of seeds you place in the bag at the end? thank you!
can you tell something about sebrafinches
I am interested in getting two canaries. What would I do if I go on vacation?
Is it not recommended to keep a male song canary alone? No other canaries. I was thinking about doing that. I want a single bird. Will it sing if kept alone? Will he remain happy and healthy?
Good information, specially for beginners.
My questions.
1 Can Exhibition zebra finches breed in colony like 1 cage and 2 pairs?
2 Can Exhibition zebra finches and
Cut throat Finches can live together in one cage?
I’m looking into getting a pet canary soon, but am trying to decide on a breed/variety. 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!
What type of canary is the orange one. And do you feed him some type of orange food to keep the color. If so what type?
Ur corgi looks do cute.
What is the true about mosquitos bite and canaries.? Thanks for sharing.
I’m looking for a bird but I can only get one. Is it ok to get a Canary alone?
Thanks for the Good Info!😎👍🏽🤘🏽
Do you have any how to set up cages for birds videos? Parakeets, cockatiel, etc. Great videos, thanks
Wow, I love your videos
how I make food for. baby's finch? thanks. please let mi know.
Hello i was wondering what kinda of food is the best for new born zebra flinches
Can you do a parakeet care video?
I had two zebra finches, but one of them flew out onto the floor and then my cat came and he got scared so he flew out the window. 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!!! Anyway, it would be REALLY helpful if we could have some advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your the best
If I want to buy a small and calm bird and a bird that will sit with me for a minute or two before flying away
What would you suggest I was thinking a zebra finch but you mentioned they get teratorial
What is your suggestion
Great video lot of information
+FishOnTV finches and canaries are more of viewing birds, they aren't really pets you handle
FishOnTV You should look into Cockatiels, Green Cheeked Conures, or Parrotlets
Would essential oil diffusers be safe around birds ?
Hey, I have a male canary for a year now. I got him when he was still very young but he doesn't like leaving his cage. I personally don't like cages and only had them for when they wanted to sleep or eat. Is there a way to get your canary to trust and not be afraid? I've done anything I can. 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
more finch caring , please.
That travel cage is wicked small....
Can a living plant be placed in the cage with a pot
Is that red headed canary real in color?
Please Please make a budgie/parakeet training video. There is no great ones out there and Iv'e tried everything and my bird is still not hand tame.
I change food daily in dishes but if it is in a feeder do you not have to do that? Also what is the name of the feeder you showed in the video?
hii...how long should you hand feed a abandoned finch and how to learn eat seeds?
Hello, I am getting a canary. Would it be a good idea to add a parakeet as a pal? I have seen several videos that depict canaries and parakeets living in harmony. Please advised.
I live in Florida, and ws wondering if they can be kept outside in a aviary with quail?
It's possible. But there is a lot that goes into making it successful. It would be reccomended for an experienced bird owner.
That was sooo helpful thank you very much!
What is the name of the bird feeder ? Can lady gouldians and canary ( males) be together? Thank you
zebra finches please and thankyou
Thanks gorgeous 😍
What seeds do you feed them? whats the best food to give them?
could you do a ferret cage tour video or a meet my ferrets video?
YES Thank you so much for making this :)
Wow
Can I keep House finches with Canarie ‘s?
Can you teach me how to tame a zebra fences
Have you Done a video where you learn how to take care of fish?
Can you do a video on safe ways to clean cages? I love your ferrets and chinchillas btw❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
more videos about goats plz and where would u get some TAME milk goat milk or as pet
Where I can buy this birds in boston
i have a small cage for my zebra finch but i let it out around the house and it flys. then when it is done it flies to its cage so i can put it away
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
That's what I hope for 🙂👀🙏👍
Thank you for information
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.
I would love to see more information on all your finches!
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 2canarys i love them
Hey....I’m Michael in Fl.I live in a Apt,whats a good flight cage,and what kind of Finches do good in small places?Id order from the Finch Farm.
I have 2 society finches living with 2 cockatiels in a 6ft x 6ft cage. No issues.
