When you decide where you’ll ultimately place your canary’s cage, keep the following 6 pointers in mind:
 
1: Aim for a site that’s eye level, roughly six feet off of the ground
 
2: Placing your canary’s cage too low (especially on the ground) can cause a great deal of anxiety for your bird. This is because in the wild, your canary’s natural enemy would be predatory birds, which attack from above. Ground placement leaves them prone to danger and
will “stress out” your canary.
 
3: If you mistakenly place your canary’s cage too high, you’ll effectively cut them off from humans, making it that much harder to successfully tame your canary or get the used to people.
 
4: Try to hang the cage, or set it up on a table, that is next to a wall, as having one section of the cage “walled” off will offer additional safety and protection, keeping your bird calm and secure.
 
5: If you’ll be keeping your cage outdoors, remember that wire cages are HIGHLY reflective. Hang it up on a tree or other area that is shaded from direct sunlight and safely away from any potential predators.
 
6: Finally, it’s worth mentioning that if you’re going to allow your canary to fly freely throughout the house, you’ll need to “canary-proof” practically every single room (and window).
 
Just as introducing a toddler to your home will quickly expose your danger zones, so too will throwing open the entry to your canary’s cage.
 
Turn off ceiling fans, make sure that all windows are closed (or at least, that the screens are closed and intact), turn off all stove-top burners, minimize the threats of other household pets (think: cat’s claws, dogs jaws…) and don’t even THINK about using
any non-stick cookware!
 
 
 Remember, your canary isn’t just some goldfish or Beta Fish, a pet that’s “here today and gone tomorrow.” When properly loved and cared for, your new canary can live to be into their twenties. But they’ll never be able to do it without YOUR help!

The best way to prevent various canary diseases is to provide a healthy diet and proper living conditions.  However, your bird may still get sick at some point in his lifetime.  There are a variety of illnesses that can affect your bird.  This article will discuss some of the most common conditions that can cause problems.

Mites

There are a variety of mites that can affect your canary.  Air sac mites infect his lungs and throat.  Other types cause problems with the legs, face, or feet.  Some mites burrow into your bird’s feathers and feed on decaying residue.  Red mites suck on his blood.

Tapeworms

Tapeworms usually cause problems with birds that are kept outside.  They can infect your cat when he ingests an infected insect.  The worms eat nutrients from the bird’s food, causing malnourishment.  As they multiply, they can cause a life-threatening blockage in the digestive tract.

Pox

One of the most serious canary diseases is pox.  This viral infection is transmitted via wild birds and mosquitoes.  Most birds experience crusty sores around their beak, feet, and eyes.  The diseases can also cause lesions to develop on the pharynx, larynx, and tongue.  There is no cure for this illness, and it’s usually fatal in most cases.

Constipation

Constipation is a less serious illness.  It’s just like the condition that affects humans.  It’s characterized by your bird’s inability to pass droppings.  You can help relieve the condition by giving him green vegetables.  Two of the most common choices include water-cress and lettuce.

Did you know that there are many different types of canaries?  Some of the different ones include German Roller, American Singer, and Cinnamon.  This article will take a look at these different types of birds.

American Singer

The American Singer is by far the most popular choice to keep as a pet.  This is thanks to a combination of ease of care and wide variety of songs.  Some of these birds can be pretty aggressive, so you need to be careful when keeping more than one together. 

German Roller

German Rollers are also pretty common.  These birds have the lowest volume thanks to the fact that they sing with their beaks closed.  More so that American Singers, German Roller males can be very aggressive.  Therefore, it’s usually not a good idea to keep two males in the same cage.

Spanish Timbrado

One of the next types of canaries is the Spanish Timbrado.  These birds are available in many different colors.  They are also capable of singing a wide variety of songs.  Unlike German Rollers, they are very loud.  If it’s warm enough outdoors, you can also keep them outside.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon canaries are bred more for their color than for their song.  They are well-known for their ultra-fine feathers.  In fact, they are said to have the finest feathers of any breed.  They are commonly bred with many other breeds.

Waterslagger

One of the next types of canaries is the Waterslagger.  These birds usually have a light yellow color with dark spots.  They only provide up to medium volume when singing since they usually sing with their beaks closed.  They are also capable of making bubbling water notes that mimics running water.
