How to Set Up a Canary Cage

[@ironix1]

Good to see someone with a passion, who truly understands the needs of her feathered friends and provides thorough enrichment for them. Well done. They are very lucky!

[@Hussainzidane]

It's like 5 star hotel for canary. Never seen that much accessories for canary in cage. You are Great mom

[@RogerHolien]

like the Hilton for the canary! That bird has it made, perches, food on every side and dont get me going on toys!

[@ecologist_to_be]

Roger Holien Don't see how this is unusual? Not good if most canaries suffer boring cages. lol

[@ayiz2009]

I wouldn't be shocked if you put a tv ! That cage is better than my apartment lol

[@sparky1043]

Great Canary video! I got my first Canary a couple years ago and I tried letting him out and it worked out great. He flies around (99% in the same room as his cage) but, as you mention, he's learned to go back to his cage (in fact, I've even taught him to go back via my hand signals). Canaries are great little birds and they do make nicer pets than most people realize. Mine is not finger tame but he's not very afraid of me. I think letting him out to fly really improves his quality of life.

[@Loveofpets]

Sparky10 Great story. Glad you let him fly. They are smart.

[@cypressgazaway4191]

That's super cool! I've been looking into getting my very first bird recently but It's been a little bit intimidating. Do you have any advice for beginners? :)

[@ywoisug8845]

@@cypressgazaway4191 canaries dont really need that much as you could think. Cage in the video is like a 5star hotel, you dont have to buy a whole pet shop for your canaries if you want him to be happy. You can feed him seeds, other than that some veggies or fruits (they love apples and carrots), also some greens. You should let him out of the cage as soon as he is feeling comfortable around you and in his new home. If youre afraid that he wont go back, just give him less food so hell be more likely to go back by himself. Feed him regulary, and try to sing something everytime you do so(always the same song). Remember that only males sing, but if you want to keep two of them-buy two females.

[@nataliebutler]

@@ywoisug8845 that's quite an old fashioned perspective. Canaries enjoy enrichment as much as any other bird. Mine plays with toys all the time and hops around his many branch, has he would in nature.

Wider is better than tall as they need to fly back and forth rather than up and down.

If you use natural sticks, you can gently bake them at about 170 F to kill anything that might be living on them… I do that with old books that have tiny insects in the binding too ☺️

[@aure4330]

This cage is amazing! But I just want to help and tell you some tips! First of all try moving around the toys try hanging them from the side and that stuff! Second please remove the milet since it’s kinda fatty and it’s usually used to training since it can harm your beloved bird if they eat too much from it. Third I recommend adding a 3rd plate (this is optional but it’s great) to add bird chop! It’s really good I recommend it! Fourth (once again optional) Try using stainless steal food plates! It’s good because it doesn’t gather a lot of bacteria and it’s easier to clean! But you did great! This wasn’t meant to be hate I just wanted to help and give tips! I love your content and I hope you found this helpful! *(btw sorry if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes I am still learning English)*

I guess now I have to go to our Pet Shop here and check out toys for Canaries !! I have never seen any but will see what can be adapted. I took out the grill on the bottom of the cage as you suggested. My cage is a good size one and he can fly from one perch to another. I have never let him out the cage but maybe will give it a go and see what happens ? Tks again for a very informative video !

I want to thank you for yours truly useful advices for us, I planned a new member of our family and I love singing birds like goldfinches and canaries, so hopefully it will be a nice canary male ♥️💛. The only room for him could be my room and I am afraid if I could sleep with him. Isn't he too noisy in the morning? At night he would sleep when he is covered by blanket right? As I understand he would prefer a longer cage, he need to wash himself daily, he need swing, play, special food, sepia bone, vegetable and fruit and treats right? An how often should I cut his nails? Can I make a bounder with him without letting him out of the Cage? It is dust dangerous for him? And how often he need to eat some special sand?

Hi! This video was very helpful, I was under the impression that newspaper shouldn't be used in a bird cage because it could potentially be toxic, is it fine to use?

I am trying to learn more about canary care before I adopt in the future. I was wondering if you can place a few fake plants in their aviary? I tried looking it up but I'm not getting any reliable source of yes or no. I did see a suggestion of using fish plants as they are non toxic if the bird were to nip at it. And that it is okay for small birds since they can't consume the fake plant. Just chew on it. But I have no clue. Thank you in advance.

[@Loveofpets]

Hi, I have seen the fake plants in aviaries and they look very nice however I am not sure if they are toxic to birds. I have used them many years ago when I had finches but they did not chew them.

[@tomer711]

Hi. Thanks for the video. Are canaries smarter and less afraid from human then finches?

[@Loveofpets]

Hi, your welcome. All birds can be smart but I find that finches are more skittish of humans than canaries but it depends on the species. Zebra finches seem to be more trusting of humans. It depends on if they seen alot of humans when hatched. Canaries can be afraid of humans like finches so it's an individual issue.

[@digby3618]

I was going to put a comment along the lines of, "This is ok advice for a pet, I guess," as it is obvious that you're not an aviculture expert. Then you wrote the above comment, outing yourself as a rank amateur. Canaries ARE Finches. To be precise, they are a finch native to the Canary Islands, hence the reason they are called Canaries. If you don't know such a basic fact, you have no business giving out advice to people who clearly know even less than you do.

Hey I like your videos....at what age should I start training my baby budgie...I have a pair and they gave birth to one baby...it is 5 days old so at what age should I start and take it out to start the bonding and make it comfortable with me..thanks

[@Loveofpets]

HI, when the baby is one week old start talking to it and check the babies feet for any debris and clean if necessary. Every day I would pick up the baby for about 3 to 5 minutes and start increasing time as he gets older. At four weeks old talk and hold the baby for around 15 minutes and increase as he gets to 6 weeks. Once he leaves the nest teach him to perch by putting perches low to the bottom of the cage and start teaching the step up and talking a lot to him or her.

+Glitter islife This cage is big enough. I have three of these cages. You have to change the perches.

How much does it cost in general

[@carmenmcallister5222]

Is there an easy was to tell if the canary is a male or female? We assumed it was a male because he's the bright orange colour, but he doesn't sing a whole lot. I've read that the position of the eye makes a difference, and I've also read where they say it depends on which leg the band is on. Any suggestions??

[@Loveofpets]

Hi, usually the male will sing up a storm. Females can sing but not as good or loud as a male. I have never heard about the eye position. Some breeders may place bands on the right leg for males and the left for females but not all breeders. The best way to tell is by the singing and behavior.

Should i keep the birds in one room and the rodens in another and the dogs outside and the cats somewhere else?

[@Loveofpets]

Hi, it's best to keep the birds in a separate room around from the small pets. Just be careful on which type of birds you will get as you should not keep a canary near a parrot especially if you let the canary out to fly as the parrot may bite his feet if he lands on the cage also be careful with cats around birds. Cats like to hunt birds so a separate room with a door is best. It would depend on on what kind of dog and the dogs pretty drive you get. Some like to go after small critters and birds. Keep researching and you will figure it out by the time you get pets.

Are vet trips expensive for canaries?

The Borking Pup Avian vets cost more than dog and cat vets. It can be expensive. There is an exam fee and then extra costs for medication, tests such has xrays, blood work, fecal test etc.

[@beastboy6799]

I see! I was wondering because my cockatiel's vet trip cost about $210 while my budgies were only $60 (The entire vet exam and such) I thought maybe the size difference would affect the cost? Thank you for answering!

[@Loveofpets]

The Borking Pup Some vets charge by the size of the bird. Canaries are small and Cockatiels are medium. Depends on the medication and tests .

[@beastboy6799]

Sorry for bombarding you with questions, this is the last one! How much did it cost for you (Vet, food, cage, the bird itself, etc)?

[@Loveofpets]

That's a hard one to answer. I have not had to get everything at once. Depends on type of bird and the cage as I have so many of them. If you are considering getting a bird and need all the supplies than it is a major buy. Vets are $100 and up, Cages are $60.00 and up, birds can be from $30.00 to over $1,000.00 and then the toys, food, perches and accessories can add up. I can't really honestly answer that question. Estimate would for a budgie would be minimum $300.00.

[@rrozmin649]

Naturally they're gonna poop around the house, if let out to fly? How do you handle this situation?

Usually birds will poop while on a perch or wherever they land, make sure to have newspaper or plastic or or a bird stand etc under where they land. It's easy to clean up after if all the poop is in one spot. You can spot clean as well.
