Yes, she will do well. Many breeders use one male to mate with several hens.. the male travels from cage to cage as the hens begin to lay eggs.. then the hens are left to incubate and raise their chicks. They do fine. :)

@@SavoySingersAviary hi again. well she left the nest two days ago and now her and the male are chirping to each non stop. should i return him to her cage again? thanks for your help. i new at this

@@123bridel this is a common question. I don't know if you live in US or where, but I'd say : is it Spring or early to mid summer where you live? Canaries breed based on daylength... and naturally breed most successfully when the hours of daylight are increasing ... and 'fall out' of proper condition as the days shorten in fall. The hen may still be thinking about nesting, but will probably not be successful. If you have her where her days are the same length all year, such as in a living room where people turn lights on in morning, and off at night, canaries can be stuck in nesting mood most of the year.

@@123bridel as i said, this is a good question... I will write up my answer as a post to my blog and add a link here.

@@SavoySingersAviary thank you. i live in toronto cda. and yes my two pairs of canaries arein the livingroom in front of the window. the three eggs were duds and it seems she wants to build another nest. the male is still in the other cage. any tthoughts?

I know the feeling! ❤

The third item is my home made soft food mix... the recipe is in the link below. It is similar to commercial egg foods... it has protein sources such as soy, but does not include egg... which is fine, since I add it to hard boiled eggs. >>> facebook.com/SavoySingersAviary/posts/1601957339983329?__cft__[0]=AZWw7eodpt9rdVPtAarGDdHisocvG-QE4tPviB2yEs4_GnhT0UnDnhmLo4IyZw3BHkPcRRWKxqjtttrWlXWla0zxR5akR6ExCnFmx2H4GAQUMg5VvZn9tX38VV-qMnW5w2Plgnn6O-QrB7IOACuJvKcV0JZOQ9r4y07L2s2jTJV8wBWytHTkEGJJvFos05_wl9Q&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R

I change my soft food mix at different times of the year. Here is a page of my Canary Diet Nutrition Research: www.sscanaries.com/p/diet-research_16.html

I am not familiar with parrots. So, I suggest finding a parrot owner, who will have more experience and knowledge. If I had to give advice, I'd say he would need to have his cage covered, to stop any draft from the AC air that moves around the room away from the vent. I am not sure of the temperature he would need. I would guess above 70 ? I have not owned a parrot so I cannot help you. Sorry.

HI Summer... I just saw your comment! Stay in touch! :)

Glad to see you here! I too am excited for this upcoming season. :) And I always welcome messages via email or Facebook! www.sscanaries.com/p/history.html?m=1 OR facebook.com/SavoySingersAviary/

Before breeding, I will begin with a soft food, made with the same recipe I feed while the parents have chicks. I feed the soft food every day while feeding chicks, but only once a week before breeding begins. The recipe is at 1:47 in the video or on the bottom of one page of my Diet Nutrition Research on my website. www.sscanaries.com/p/diet-research_16.html In this video: th-cam.com/video/OBhl6FRgbxA/w-d-xo.html

@@SavoySingersAviary oh i see. Me i feed my birds eggfood/softfood everyday now till they lay the first egg, isn't this are bad idea for feeding them everyday?

First, remember: every one can have different ways of breeding canaries.... and many different ways will work well. :) For Me: I want my canaries to have a REST and PLAY time, after the have finished the molt and before they begin to think about nesting again. In this REST time, they have a simple diet, with mostly seed and a few raw veggies. About one to two months before breeding, I will feed them soft food a few times. I also add a little song treat seed mix, which has the dark, oil seeds... just a little. I also feed a good vitamin/mineral supplement in the water. I also shut the heat vent in the bird room, so the temperature is cooler than normal. And the daylight hours are getting shorter as the days outside are shorter in the fall and winter. One month before breeding time in approx. March, I will give more baths, the temperatures will be warming, and the days will be getting longer. I will also feed a little pinch of softfood several times a week. I very much believe canaries should have SEASONS... including a rest season. Here is an article: ladygouldian.com/Cycle-Of-The-Seasons-for-Birds My way works for me. You may have success with your way! :)

Follow me on Facebook, as this is a topic I will be discussing, and I will be posting a feed/care schedule as a pdf , before the end of the year! :) facebook.com/SavoySingersAviary/

@@SavoySingersAviary thank you very much godbless

Then start now

Thanks, Far-Away Friend!

Yes, my birds are seeing much more of me this year, than most years! :D

Yes. Sometimes, birds new to my bird room will just 'hang out' the first year... not interested in being a parent. A few years ago, I had a hen that called for a mate, but wasn't happy with any males I put in with her. She built a nest and laid eggs, but wouldn't let a male get close. I found she was a good mama, so I kept her as a Foster Mama. She would nest, and I could give her little chicks from other hens, and she was such a good mama! :)

It was a bit daunting to begin.... but so nice now!
