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]

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 😊💛

[@the14thearlofgurney84]

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 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!

[@anngamula2602]

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? ☺

[@iliasl7066]

Let your canary listen to canary songs on youtube it will mimic them and will sing itself

[@Me-pr3js]

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

[@jase123111]

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.

[@jase123111]

Also forgot to say they love eating seeding grasses and that is very healthy for them too.

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.

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+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 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.

[@Roxana-sk1df]

I love your videos I learn a lot from you!!! I've had a (male) zebra finch for a while now and I haven't been able to find another one so I bought a (female) society finch, do you think this was a good idea? I didnt want him to be lonely. Also is there a specific type of hay that is best for finches or can i just buy any type of hay at a pet store?

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

That is perfect! I have one male zebra finch myself, and he lives with 4 canaries and 2 other finches (that are not zebra). Any hay available for small mammals should be fine.

[@jackguste966]

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

[@polnan1]

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

[@lornemcneil]

That's what I hope for 🙂👀🙏👍

[@MatthewArangatta]

Just wondering, what are the best types of perches? I find that the canaries I've had get some feet problems/they end up not wanting to stand on them and their feet get pretty dry and scaly. I love your canaries by the way. They're so lively and adorable. Your video was very informative. Gah, I just have to write this up for my parents since I can't keep my canary at my place right now l:

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?

[@brans7269]

Hello great video hey what's the optimus temperature for canaries?

[@naomimesch779]

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

[@achaemenesthefifth]

[@bufalo9845]

What is the true about mosquitos bite and canaries.? Thanks for sharing.

[@Jacquyjyz]

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

[@TheKiwibirder]

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!

[@bellakinealy8]

can you please do a video on cockatoos!?

[@6GymGoblin9]

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.

[@englishwithalex]

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.

What seeds do you feed them? whats the best food to give them?

[@gutsyparenting4300]

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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?

[@clashnadir9484]

Respect flr you

[@Toltecgrl]

Thank you! You gave a lot of good info. I have experience only with larger parrots. Or parakeets abs love birds. I am thinking of trying to get some canaries. I live in CA so the temperature in the summer can get to 102 on occasion and the coldest between 20-30 in the winter. Can canaries handle the heat? My parakeets do well in my shaded patio and I let them have some mist to keep the patio cool in the summer. Can canaries handle these same temperatures? Also, which canaries sing beautiful? Any suggestions? Thank you!

[@davidg1726]

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?

[@enigmatictm7327]

hii...how long should you hand feed a abandoned finch and how to learn eat seeds?

[@amandadavis7585]

How many finches should I have in a cage together? Is a pair fine or should it be a small flock? Also is it weird that I’m a little scared that the other bird(s) would get sad if one were to pass away?

[@kristatrn4963]

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?

[@rebeccarone651]

Great video, but I have a couple questions about finches. Do they have a strong odor and are they destructive to items like parrots are? I'm thinking about getting a couple.

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

I think the bird poop smells a little bit, but I hardly notice it. They do not have a hard beak like parrots so they are not destructive at all really. They do create a mess with feathers though.

[@darjohnston1334]

We just got pair if tiger finches that I think have wild parties when I'm not home I find seeds all over floor everywhere Uggg
