What is a Gloster Canary?

The Gloster Canary is a small, active member of the canary family. Like all canaries, the Gloster Canary is a singing bird, though it is louder and not as melodic as some canary aficionados may prefer. Its coloration and appearance have made it one of the more popular canary species since its introduction in 1925.

What is a Fife canary?

It is a smaller version of todays Border Canary, which has been developed into a larger bird reaching about 5 1/2 inches (14 cm). The development of the Fife was the result of efforts to bring back the Borders original smaller standard, a bird whose length is 4 1/2 inches (11.4 cm).

Can I keep a single canary?

Canaries are very small in size, between 4-5 inches and can live up to 10 years. Canaries do not require a great deal of attention and are suitable for beginning pet bird owners. Canaries are not social birds so a single pet canary will be happy being alone.

Is it better to have one or two canaries?

Ideally, get two male canaries in separate cages, unable to see each other. They compete in song, and each will sing more. Together, males and females will squabble unless they are breeding. Often they will bully each other when feeding or bathing.

Can 2 male canaries live in the same cage?

It depends. Male canaries should be housed separately. Two males caged together WILL fight- sometimes until one is killed or both are injured badly. Males and females should NOT be kept together at any time except during the breeding season and during the molting period (BOTH must be in full molt, however).

Why are my canaries fighting?

Canaries can fight for many reasons, but competition over mating is one of the biggest causes. To reduce the tension, keep the males in one cage and females in another after their first molt in late summer.

How long after mating do Canaries lay eggs?

Canary eggs hatch in 14 days. This is counted from the day that the hen starts to sit on the eggs, not from the day that the egg was laid.

Can Canaries eat scrambled eggs?

The answer to this is yes, birds can eat egg. It may seem counter-intuitive to feed egg to a bird because birds lay eggs to give birth to their young, but it is not. Eggs can be a healthy addition to your bird’s diet.
