THE CAGE : The cage should be one suited to the canary and not chosen for its decorative appeal. The German Roller is not for the hard of hearing. He has a very soft song and is classed as outstanding in his ability to produce different notes and tones. The little German Roller sings with his beak closed.

There are several varieties of canaries such as Norwich, Lizards, Border Fancy, Glosters, Yorkshires, Australian Plain Head, Crested Norwich, New Mutations, the many shades of Red Factors, and the German Rollers.Īll of the above breeds of canary, with the exception of the German Roller, sing with their mouths or beaks wide open. VARIETIES OF CANARIES : The ability of the male canary to sing or whistle varies from one bird to another and has very little to do with its variety. Any Email enquiry’s will be directed to an appropriate breeder.

Birds may be purchased from pet shops or dealers, however quality guaranteed canaries are also available from our club members. When selecting a pet canary choose a young healthy bird which is bright, alert and bouncy, not one that sits perched with ruffled up feathers. Each year the colour of the rings is changed and most canary fanciers can tell the age of a bird by the colour of the club ring it has on its leg. These rings are stamped with the initials of the club from which they were issued along with the year and the registered numbers. Club member’s purchase closed metal rings, which are placed on the birds legs when they are about ten days old. The age of the bird you intend buying is another important consideration, naturally the younger the bird, the longer you are likely to keep him.Īll canary exhibitors, and may fanciers who do not show their canaries, belong to a Canary Club. Today canaries may be purchased in fawn, cinnamon, white, blue and various shades of red. It must be pointed out here that the colour of the original canary is green, maybe not as nice as a green as we see in most canaries today, but never the less green. The best and strongest of all is the green bird, but too often these are overlooked for some other colour. You might have already set your mind on one particular colour canary, but colour should not come before song. Remember he is totally reliant on you for all his requirements. However, he is doomed to a short miserable life if you do not attend to his basic needs. A whistling canary is easy to care for and will give you years of pleasure if looked after properly. Caution : You should consider carefully before buying a pet bird.
