Hi Chris what sort of canaries have you? Are you selecting birds for colour or shape etc? How old are your birds and do you have an age limit for breeding stock?
I love seeing your canaries, I’d love to join the aviculture hobby. I especially love softbills, and I haven’t seen much focus on them on TH-cam in general. A video on the history of canary/finch keeping would be interesting, if that interests you! I have a question- are you primarily a hobbyist, or is bird breeding a primary source of income for you? I’m just curious!
I forgot the thingy that separates the canaries at my grandpa's.I used a carton and made holes the same shape as the cage, they are good enough so that the birds see each other but I can say the original one has about 40% more clearance. Do you think its enough?
First of all great video, now I would love to know how you bring your birds in condition and what you do to keep them in condition when in the breeding season and best of luck !
great start looking forward to see the progress i have a question not canary related but i hope you can help can you tell me until what age can zebras , budgie and cockatiel will breed at?
UPDATE: I’ve been observing my male canary try to feed my female canary. However, every time he attempts to feed her my hen tries to bite him with her beak. He has also tried to mount her but she doesn’t let herself. I’ve been feeding them egg food since I got them in February! Is there anything I can do to get my hen conditioned for breeding???
How to breed this type of bird for commercial without issue? The problem is that we have this bird is dying immediately after hatching, the mom not feeding the babies and the babies are dying. What is the reason why the mom not feeding the babies and leaving the babies to die?
This is Ed, how do you handle round 2, do you remove the male and babies or do you leave everyone together. Also how do you handle feather plucking of young.
Hi Chris My Female laid 3 eggs sat in nes was on them a few days male was feeding her i, noticed she was out of her nest most of the day, i checked the nest and she had ate all 3 eggs, tryinging again with nest and put a fake egg what am i doing wrong can you advise , love yor videos thankyou
It could be that she is calcium deficient and her eggs are this and are breaking easily. Make sure she has calcium bone at all times. It probably would help to add some liquid calcium a couple times a week while she’s laying her eggs.
In my opinion you can you use the separate thingy and see his and her reaction......I have a male that got separated after 2 wasted tries of "egg making" and then it happened. I putted him back and he was acting fine like he is supposed feeding the mom and the chick(only one the other fertile egg fall of my hand while checking cause i didn't had faith)
I have placed my pair of canaries in a breeding cage with a nest and nesting material. They’ve been real curious about the nest. But have not build one yet. How long does it take for canaries to breed? Ever since I place them together Sunny my yellow canary has stopped singing!
Why is my male canary not feeding the female and the chicks and attacking the female? And can i move the chick and put them all in one cage they are 3 chicks
When I bought my red factor canaries . Male and female I was told to feed them abba red food for color, abba green veggie food, canary seed, egg food, song food. Daily. Is this right? Also, was told they can all live together . Read that canaries should live alone because one day I will find one of them dead. That did happen with my female of one pair. I think I was misinformed by my bird store. My female was looking terrible until I delegated her from the male. Her feathers are growing back now but no wing feathers or tail feathers. My male that lost his mate never sang since I bought him. I’ve put on canary singing training videos for them to listen to. No singing from him ever. Just a chirp. I think I have been very misinformed by the store I bought my birds from.
Hey! I know for a fact from a guy that knows things about birds that outside nest should be covered from the inside in way that the female doesn't see outside! What is your opinion on that
How much privacy do canaries and gouldians need to breed and raise their clutch? Can they be raised in a family room/bedroom or do they need a private location? If they are in a family room, can you cover part of the cage to give them enough privacy to breed? I like having them in a location so that they can be enjoyed, but would also like to breed them.
Ok so it all depends on how much the canaries feel safe near you and stuff, canaries are really calm animals tho. You can easily breed inside house as long as the place where the nest is, is "safe" enough (no children scaring the birds). I would suggest putting them in a high place cause they like that and feel less scarier. In my opinion a 2-3 meter "safezone" where you can stay (again it depends on how much they feel safe). I know for instance friends that are breeding inside their houses Feel free to ask me anything you want!😀
My female red factor attacks my male..ive put the seperater in and she fights with him through the divider.any suggestions..also where can I find nests like yours
I have a male that sings all day when his by him self but when I put him with the female he does nothing. Female is ready and building nest but he doesn't seem interested in her. Any thoughts?
@@ariskaitamialastakagela9187🤨 I read some article (written by experts) saying that one can identify the sex while they’re in the nest.. but if not, no worries!
@@OfficialJorgie Ok friend! Even if the birds can identify each others sex, how are you supposed to? Maybe need to search more articles to be sure( I will make my own research nobody knows everything). I have had lots of chicks. Many times I was sure one or two of them were males it's just the way they behave. Either way you will find the gender one way or the other😀! Be careful about the diet of the birds and you should be fine If you need anything feel free to ask or drop your opinion I will gladly speek to you, we bird lovers should stay together
@@ariskaitamialastakagela9187 yes, thank you so much! ☺️ I have some baby chicks here at home, and at the age of a month and a half I was able to identify their sex because a few of them start to sing.. with all the other males I have singing all day, they definitely motivate the baby chicks to, as well. :)
Is your male young? He may be inexperienced and not sure what to do. Or he may not quite be in breeding condition yet. I would also try putting in a nest and see if they use it.
@@birdnerd hi chris, well she laid an egg sometime in the early a.m. yesterday. but it was cracked and stuck to her which is how i seen it. i will try a nest again but right now she is again in the seed dish
@@birdnerd hi chris she has laid anoother egg and it too looks cracked she won't use the nest and i think the male is destroying the egg when eating the seed around it
@@123bridel i would remove the male it sounds like he is either too young and not mature enough to breed. Or he just simply isn't in breeding condition and not ready to breed yet.
Here's a question for you Chris, I'm just starting back with canaries and I see your cages have strip lights on some of them>> would these Vanity Mirror lights be helpful in my cages (same as yours, three compartments) check them out please and comment.

Wow What a nest!!! Thank you i was watching for you to be back.

Thank you. You're video's have been super helpful.

I would like to see on your next video what to give your birds to prevent any illness for strong breeding season
My canary has 1 baby bird that hatched so whats next now that thee baby has hatched this is new to me?
how can you catch or transfer those birds outside your aviary to your breeding cage?
UPDATE: I’ve been observing my male canary try to feed my female canary. However, every time he attempts to feed her my hen tries to bite him with her beak. He has also tried to mount her but she doesn’t let herself. I’ve been feeding them egg food since I got them in February! Is there anything I can do to get my hen conditioned for breeding???

How can you fit the birth nest to the cage with no opening in the cage?

My female started building a nest after her first clutch should i put the male back or should i let her rest?

I putted him back and he was acting fine like he is supposed feeding the mom and the chick(only one the other fertile egg fall of my hand while checking cause i didn't had faith)
But otherwise don't worry feed properly the mama and everything should be ok

Look you can just take the male and put him away the female can take care you can use a female mule to help her

Separated her from the male .. not delegated .
During breeding keep them together after breeding separate the sexes. Yes you can feed the abba red food for coloring of the red factor canaries
@@birdnerd thank you for getting back to me. My female red factor still hasn’t grown tail feathers. What am I doing wrong?
Where are you located?
I’m in Utah to! Do you sell any?
Hey! I know for a fact from a guy that knows things about birds that outside nest should be covered from the inside in way that the female doesn't see outside! What is your opinion on that
Mine have breed while being covered and not being cobered

Feel free to ask me anything you want!😀
Where the 🥚 comes from ??
It’s too large 🙄
Is it a son and mother able to breed
It’s not recommended to interbreed but it is possible that they will if you keep them together.
Why do canaries leaves there kids without feeding and let them die
My female red factor attacks my male..ive put the seperater in and she fights with him through the divider.any suggestions..also where can I find nests like yours
She has a light 💡 straight into her face
Not likening it
Need to put a bit natural condition
Can anyone suggest a breeder to get a few pairs for myself?
I have a male that sings all day when his by him self but when I put him with the female he does nothing. Female is ready and building nest but he doesn't seem interested in her. Any thoughts?
hi BirdNerd! I am in the middle of a good breeding season, and my question for you is, how can you identify the sex of canary hatchlings? 🙂
You can't right away....

You know what i just remembered you can send a sample for dna but thats expensive and in my opinion unreasonable

my red canary hen is trying to make a nest in the food dish. the male goes in and takes out anything she puts in. any suggestions?

What about hens that only lay one egg
Is she a young hen who is laying for the first time?
Hello can someone tell me if a canary gives birth to an egg every morning or do they give birth to all the eggs at once
They will lay an egg every morning.

my male canary has been putting fibre in the nest and sits on the fake egg
Some males will help build the nest and will help sit on the eggs. Usually those are great fathers.
