Our male canaries are guaranteed singers.
Some commonly asked questions about canaries:
How old are the birds you sell?
They are 9-12 weeks old.
How long do canaries live?
Average lifespan for canaries is 4-7 years.
How many canaries should I buy?
Keep your canary in a cage by itself to insure good song. You may keep
two canaries on opposite sides of the same room. Often they will sing to
each other.
What is the gestation period and number of
young?
What do canaries eat?
For a basic diet we recommend either the Abba Premium Parakeet Diet or
Sun Seed Parakeet Mix. Good supplements include Millet Spray, Honey
Sticks, Dry Greens, Budgamine, or Oats and Groats. A teaspoon of
Grit (Parakeet Gravel) should be sprinkled on the floor of the cage or
placed in a separate dish. Grit is eaten by the bird and kept in its
gizzard.
Why do canaries make great pets?
Male canaries are popular birds most noted for their beautiful song.
Their warm colors, interesting manners, and graceful motions also add to
their desirability. Canaries are hardy pets and require only minimal care.
