@@dustyrosa I'm so sorry to hear about his passing 💔 Canaries might be small creatures, but they fill our entire hearts 💛

@@이지은-s9k3q Hi! Thankyou for watching! I have been very busy with my study (I recently graduated), I am planning on making videos soon again! 😄 Are there certain subjects you would like to hear about? 💛

@@Loveofpets Thank you so much! 🥰

@@leslieannvanhumbeck7630 Thankyou 🥰 it's actually quite easy to tell them apart once you know what to look for! Captain Birb is a little less vibrant yellow and has a black spot above his left eye 💛 and Sicko is vibrant yellow all over 🥰 I can also tell them apart by whistles and flying sound 😂

@@annaprah1764 That is so sweet of you! 🥰 She is going to have a wonderful life with you! If you have questions or would like to chat about other things, feel free to send me a message on either of my platforms (Instagram, Facebook or KZbin, whatever is the easiest) 💛

@@Samtaraki Hii! So sorry for the late reply. Are you certain its scaly feet? I know that some cream could help, but that can also damage the feathers of the bird (making them become unable to fly and keep themselves warm). I think the best treatment is a medicine from the vet with Ivermectine in it. But this medicine can vary from name and brand in your country as I am from Netherland 😄 but if you call your avian vet or maybe a poultry vet they will know what medicine and in what dosage is best for your bird! 💛

@@lemonthecanary I do not breed with my canaries and I do not have experience with breeding. I only have experience with raising birds (and mammals due to my job) 😄

​@@LemonBirbsoh😅 its ok. At least you have a LOT OF fun videos to watch!

@@Epicshada Thankyou! And I'm sorry to hear that, their songs have a healing effect on our souls 💛 is he moulting (or losing some feathers day by day)? Does he have enrichment in the form of being able to forage through stuff? Do you know what age he is? What are his droppings like and can you hear his breathing during the evening/night?

@@robertkerr9527 Canaries truly are amazing little creatures 🥰 but so are budgies (I personally would go for canaries all the way 😂 I love them so much!) 😍

@@milachan5770 if you add a third male the chance of them fighting is bigger due to their hormones (especially in summer they can become meanies). I would not add any birds to the flock until they are stable 💛 and adding another male can make the fighting worse. If you do want a bigger flock then I would advice adding females (but more females than males in a flock otherwise they can fight for the females). You could also switch out real eggs for fake ones and don't have juveniles 💛

@@LemonBirbs Stable means when the 2 males like each other? How long does it take until they stop arguing? Because one wants to sing, but the other doesn't allow it and chases him.

@@milachan5770 When they stop fighting yes 😄 it's hard to say when it might stop. I think if it is due to breeding hormones, they might stop fighting in Autumn/Winter

@@LemonBirbs ok, thank you very much. 😊

Thanks for taking care of him! He would indeed have been better off with a wildlife rehabber (we have experience with keeping the animals wild and not get used to us, so they can be reintroduced into nature, and we have been trained in their diet, lifestyle, behaviour and stuff like that for optimal chances). However, that's not the case now, but maybe something to think about when you find another small birdy! 💛 For now, I think it's best to try and give him less feedings a day to stimulate him eating on his own more 😄 I also think that he is indeed not suitable to be released into nature now (but you could always call a local wildlife rehabber for advice), however I am uncertain of which bird species would be a better fit due to most species having their own language (I always make the comparison between someone speaking your own language and someone who speaks another language which you don't understand). Another house finch would be the best fit, maybe you could make a public post in hope someone else somehow also has a handraised house finch unable to be reintroduced into nature? Also canaries are a bit of both, solitary and group birds 😂 it depends on each individual as some prefer to be on their own, but most prefer conspecifics (I also have seen wild canary flocks foraging and sleeping together) 💛 One of my dear friends in Australia also has house finches (they legally can't be reintroduced into nature in her country) and I believe she mentioned the other day that the finches do not really make contact with the other birds residing at her sanctuary 😅 So I think the best option is hopefully finding another hand raised house finch unable for release or maybe a wildlife rehabber local to you can give advice on what to do (I am a wildlife rehabber in Netherland, but there could be different rules and regulations in each country so I am not sure what is possible for you) 💛 I hope I gave you enough information, but feel free to ask more if some is still not clear or if you want to know more! 😄💛 you could also message me via FaceBook or Instragram if that is easier (links to the accounts are in the description of the video)

Hii! Sorry for my late reply! Do they have a bath to bathe themselves in? That might make a difference if they don't have a bath 😄 It might also be worth it to take them to an avian vet for a check up, to make sure there are no pathogens causing the smell! I feed my canaries a mixed diet of seeds, vegetables, greens and fruit (in a 50/70% seeds/grains/oats and 30/50% veggies/greens ratio) 💛 I will try to make an updated video about my birds their diet once time will let me! 😄 And how sweet of you to ask! I have had surgery in November and since a month or two I can finally do everything again with my hand 🥰 it is truly better than ever! 💛

Hii yes ofcourse! You can either ask your question here or via a dm on Facebook or Instagram (those are linked in the description of the video), whatever you prefer 😄

Hii! So sorry for my late reply 🙈 I had the same issue with the corbo, I tried spot cleaning but ended up just cleaning the entire bottom (poops were also quite difficult to see sometimes) 😂 and I also had the problem of finding dangerous pieces of plastic and other trash in the bags 😓 so I actually use a different bottom liner now (since this year) 😂 I'm now using discovery bedding (coconut bark/fibers from the brand Back Zoo Nature) and throw some local bought safe flowers and herbs on it 😄 it smells great, looks natural, absorbs water and I can see the poops clearly on the dark brown bottom (and I can just pick up pieces of it to spot clean easier)!

@LemonBirbs Oh really? Ok I'll get that and try it out. Thank you so much! And again love yout vidoes, they helped so much :)

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 💛

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 😄

Maybe you can try and take the name of the product and search for it in google? If I try to search for these products in Canada it still shows shops local to me 😅 or Etsy, but if you look on that, make sure to look at the reviews to be safe! Maybe if you are active on Facebook or Instagram you could ask in bird groups if they know of webshops that ship to you?

Thankyou! And yess I remove everything from the playground every week and clean it with warm water 😄 I do sometimes add extra seeds, but I do check what they have eaten first. If I only see the hulls I will add more, otherwise they can forage for the last few seeds haha. If you have more questions or are in need of advice or just want to talk, feel free to send me a message on Instagram or Facebook! (Or here in the comments is fine too, but sometimes I do not get notifications from YT) 💛

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 okay, ty

Really enjoyed your video. But your music is too loud I think it would be better without music

@@shirleyrankin-zf6nv thanks and I know 🙈! Somehow it went wrong with the music in this clip, it wasn't like this when I was editing. I might remake it in the future but I first have other videos in my list of making 💛

That counts as foraging 😄 you can slowly upgrade by for example putting small and light stuff partly over the food (so the canaries can see them, but have to shove the light material aside to have a good bite) 💛

@@LemonBirbs okay, thanks!

Is he maybe still moulting? Sometimes the moulting process can be so terribly long 😓 and maybe you can try putting some singing canary videos on, that might trick him into singing 💛 Thankyou for providing your canary the life he deserves 🥰

Hi, yes he started moulting around Christmas. Lost all but 2 tail feathers and could'nt fly at all to go with the not singing as well. This one is a rather large plain head gloster with lots of puffy feathers so maybe that's a reason for the long moult. I've read it could take up to 12 weeks but this one's been a bit longer. I do play music and canary videos so maybe that will stimutae him. At the moment it does try to sing but just a little bit . He has started to fly again but not like before. Maybe in a bit more time. I'll keep you posted. Thank you @@LemonBirbs

@@6400az I think he might need a little more time indeed! But it sounds like he will be singing loudly again soon 😂💛

He might nibble on the cardboard 😄 Mine do that too when I use it in a toy, but it's harmless if they only do it sometimes (and still eat and drink the right stuff) 💛 and thankyou for giving your canary an amazing life 🥰

Veeerryyy small (and to think it's not even everything yet in the pictures) 😂🙈🥰

I love talking about birds 💛 It's also part of my study and job! 🥰

I use the same materials 😄 the discovery bedding with mosses, with on top leaves, sticks, bark, pinecones, flowers and/or herbs. I switched their bedding to this for a couple of months now and they absolutely love it 🥰

@@LemonBirbs Thank you !

Aww, thankyou so much 💛

I think the height was around 20 cm, but I'm not too sure as I don't own those anymore 😅

Hii! The ones with the beads only and colourful sitting part are from a local pet shop, but I'm not sure about the brand (and I am not using those anymore either as I don't trust the steel they used). And the one with the leather squares inbetween is from the brand Petlala and is bought from avonturiashop.nl (they ship within EU I believe)

@@LemonBirbs thank you so so much. The swing with the beads only. Do you know what size is it? Because I bought some from Amazon but it way too big

@@minhthuluong7757 I believe the height was around 20 cm

Some birds do not want to be close to humans 😅 it also helps to not push the bird and be very patient, but with some birds, being tame won't happen at all

Yess absolutely, and age indeed doesn't matter at all! 💛

Because there are some canaries that truly do not wish to be closento humans at all, and I don't want people pushing those birds for interactions 💛 Animals need to be able to show what they want to do and not what we want them to do 💛

Until it gets stuck in your asshole
