Question

Hello guys,how are you there? Well I have one male canary bird,his name is Elvis,he sings lots,I love him and I have two questions for you.

1- Pls,give me a list of all fruits and vegetables that my canary would enjoy to eat as healthy treats?

2- If I get him a female canary bird to share his cage and have babies,so do you think he will stop singing? or sing any less?

Thanx lots.

Answer 1

1. apples, oranges, bananas, green peppers, canned corn, fresh corn on the cob, cooked broccoli, raw spinach, raw dandelions, raw collard greens, raw Swiss chard, pears, peaches, strawberries, and cherries.

Sprouting seed is the simplest way to provide your birds with fresh greens.

Grit and cuttlebone are before the birds at all times.

2. i dont think female canary be problem for u ............u can get it.

bye

Answer 2

Hi,

You can give the bird any fruit or vegtables but you can't give them raw potato or chocolate as these are the only two poisonous things. As for breeding them well his singing may get loader and more frequent as the singing is only there for a mating call.

One thing to think about before trying to breed them is that canaries are supposibly easy to breed but there are many problems such as males will normally kill any chicks so you may need to have a cage handy for the male to live in once he's mated the female. But a lot of the time female canaries can kill their own chicks i have know hens to sit to tight and suffocate the chicks.

One final piece of advice is make sure before you start breeding that you will be able to house and sell the chicks either small ads or selling back to the petshop. As there is no point in breeding if you can't sell the chicks.
