Mixed Yellow Canary CB

Happy natured birds with  beautiful colours and an amazing ability to sing  – more likely when kept alone.

Accessories: Enjoys stimulation– provide several types of toy and mirrors. Change toys regularly so that your canary does not get bored. Use several perches with space in between so your canary has places to fly between. Swings and other toys are also available and will keep your bird entertained.

Diet: Most of a canaries diet must consist of pellets and complete canary foods. This will make up between 80-85% of their diet. The remaining 15-20% should be made up of fruits, seeds, vegetables and other treats. Canaries require a mixed diet to remain healthy. See the next page for specific foods.

Housing: Canaries should be kept in a suitable cage, the recommended minimum enclosure size is 44cm L x 33cm Dx 33cm H or (L 2x wingspan, D/H  1.5x wingspan)  for a single bird.  Cages should include food and water dishes, enrichment accessories (toys of different sizes, materials and textures), Perches, Dust bath and health care supplements.

Handling: Canaries are known to be less tame, flighty birds, however with the correct training, canaries can be just as tame as other domestic birds. When taming your canary, set up space in your home to allow it to fly and place a perch in the middle of the room– try placing treats on the perch. Sit in the room with your canary, over time it will be more used to you, and you can slowly approach and offer further treats. Over time your canary will learn to do this without treats.
