Looking for pet canary advice!
Hi everyone! I have been interested in getting a pet canary, but when I try to research them, I only find info on breeding them. I was hoping the bird owners of this subreddit could help!
I have learned a lot about food, cage requirements, and proper toys in general for birds, but if there is anything specific for canaries, I would love to know!
Here is a list of questions I haven’t been able to find the answers for:
I know that male canaries are the only ones that sing, but are there any other significant differences between male and female canaries?
I’ve learned all about chop and pellets, but exactly how much should I give one bird per meal?
If I only want one bird, are canaries a good option, or do they need a companion?
How social are they with humans? Are they easy to tame and train? And what tricks have you guys taught your canaries?
How much time do you give them outside of the cage? And how long is too long to leave them home alone?
That’s all I can think of for the moment, if there’s anything I didn’t mention that you think I should know, please tell me! Thank you all so much!
