Thanks, Chris! Canaries are my favorite. I'm about ready to pair mine up. I've never heard you mention replacing the eggs with dummy eggs. Is it not necessary?
I have some adjustable LED lights on the side of my breeding cages. On the ceiling of my bird shed I have regular LED house lights. The birds also have the option of going outside to the aviary and get full sunlight.
When I purchased my cages from another breeder he already had the external breeding pans with the cages. So i'm not sure exactly where he got them from.
Canaries are geared more towards lighting. When the lighting and warmth increase it sparks their interest and they come into breeding condition. Typically if you are following the schedule of the sun in the Western Hemisphere they will start breeding around March.
There are food colorings that you can put in their water to keep them with their red coloring. I have mentioned in some of my canary videos on how to tell the sexes. but it is difficult to tell the sexes of canaries.
I give regular small finch mix of seed. I also have a cuttle bone in the cage at all times and as well I give them egg food and soaked seeds while they are breeding.
There are different sizes of canaries some breeds like the glosters are usually a bigger type of canary and then there are others like the lizard or the timbrado canaries are typically a smaller breed. So it depends on what you are wanting.
hi, im new with Canaries, I bought a pair about 3 weeks ago. the female started building a nest almost right away and now she siting on 3 eggs, they are close to one year old, oh so they told me so most likely new parents. my concern is that im not sure if they are a bonded pair, I haven't seen the male feed the female and he seems to want to tear up the nest shes sitting on but doesn't really destroy it, just picks at the side of it lol. anyways he started singing 2 days ago for the first time and he try's to mate with the female while she's sitting on the nest with the eggs. The female seems to enjoy the attention and is not getting hurt or stressed from it. Any thoughts on this? should I wait and see what happens with the eggs? Thanks and great channel!
You could separate the male. It sounds like he may be young and a little inexperienced. Canary females are very capable of incubating and raising the young by themselves. This may give the mother a better opportunity to just focus on incubating the eggs and raising the young.
Between 68-75 degrees is what has worked best for my birds once the temp starts getting past 85 it tends to stress the birds out quite a bit and the babies don't develop as fast. Lighting for canaries is very important because that is what bring them in and out of breeding mode. between 12and 14 hours of light is recommended for canaries to breed
Sir in how many days canaries give eggs and how many days give to baby birth thank so much sir for videos and i saw your videos from afghanistan love you sir
If your pair is in breeding condition. you can expect eggs anywhere from 1-3 weeks after they build a nest. The eggs will hatch anywhere from 14-18 days after being laid.
Yeah that's fine, mine love to stuff into a nest box at night. If you are trying to breed them then I would suggest separating the pairs so they all can't cram into the nest.
I have a problem I have two males one red factor one yellow and the red factor is very dominant and jumps on top of the little yellow one right now I have them separated can you tell me is there anything I can do I really do not want babies so I don’t want to buy a female
@@birdnerd even if there isn’t a female in the house... my little yellow one isn’t as aggressive nor as strong as my red factor so they are separate. The red factor one always thinks the yellow one is a bitch and tries to breed her and that is why they are separate. Because of the tail being destroyed by trying to breed he cannot fly as well anymore.Do you think I should re-locate him and only have one?I have had to stay at females and one male and I never had this issue... I love both of my canaries and they used to fly around in the house a lot not only the red factor aggressive one can do that.
I have a female canary, when I get the male canary do I just put him with her or does he have to be in a separate cage so they can get to know each other?
Mine did the same thing. I bought 2 different kinds of baskets and put the pieces of paper towels she put on top of the seeds in the baskets. She immediately took them out of the baskets, so I put them back in the seeds and gave them a different seed cup. Thought I'd do a little searching on what to do.
@@joeljanessa6982 I haven't found anything out. Today, one of the eggs was broken on the ground and there's no longer pieces of paper towels in the seeds. She's still incubating them, but I really don't know what to do. What did you do?
@@suzannegmirek1520 Suzanne, You could remove the seed dish and put the nest where the seed dish was and transfer over the nesting material and eggs into the new nest and see if she will sit on them that way.
@@birdnerd thanks for your response. That's exactly what I did :-) Unfortunately, they took all the nesting material out, she didn't incubate the last egg left for 2 days and on the 3rd morning, it was cracked open wide and I'm assuming eaten. Oh well. These canaries eat everything I put in the cage... little amounts of broccoli, grapes, scrambled eggs. I put Harrison's tiny pellets in a separate dish and they started eating it right away. I hope I didn't teach the male to eat the eggs. The nest is out now and if she starts putting paper toweling in the seed dish again, I will immediately put the nest in the cage and keep putting the paper towels in there. Unless, of course, you have some other advice for me. :-) Thanks again...greatly appreciated.
Yes I am keeping an eye on them. I have had them in a mixed aviary in the past and I have had some that were aggressive towards the other birds and some that were very docil. If they become aggressive I will rehome them.
birdnerd brilliant Chris Ive got rid of all my canaries I’m only doing Gouldians mainly and Bengalese I’ve got crested albino pure white silvers pied and I have 4 zebras finches and 5 Chinese quail and a pair of jungle bush quail and roul rouls that what I have now I got rid of the rest I had Harlequin quail Japanese quail California quail bobwhites I had a lot but I’m loving Gouldians atm lol
Mine are fighting too. Canaries that is. Not happy as breeder told me they would be okay together and now she won't swap the male as I asked, as she said if they don't get on bring one back. So I tried and she didn't accept it.
I have one female canary (I think a lizard canary) that loves listening to all your birds in the background! :)
Awesome. I am thinking of doing a video of just my birds singing and chirping.
She would seriously love that! It’s also so relaxing to listen to :)
Most beautiful thing, congratulations on the success of your creation, big hug.
Thanks, Chris! Canaries are my favorite. I'm about ready to pair mine up. I've never heard you mention replacing the eggs with dummy eggs. Is it not necessary?
Yes it is a good thing to do. I uploaded a video today updating the canaries and I talk a little bit about why I haven't used dummy eggs lately.
@Collin Allan I hope this is a joke but if you have to hack into your significant others account you shouldn’t be with them..
Hey birdnerd , quick question , what kind of lighting set up do you use for the finches ? Great videos by the way thanks for the info.
I have some adjustable LED lights on the side of my breeding cages. On the ceiling of my bird shed I have regular LED house lights. The birds also have the option of going outside to the aviary and get full sunlight.
Hi Chris! May I ask where you purchased your external nest pans? I have the same cages but the nest pans are super hard to find?
When I purchased my cages from another breeder he already had the external breeding pans with the cages. So i'm not sure exactly where he got them from.
birdnerd ok thank you for letting me know
Do u need a light if they're by a window? & what kind of light?
How you took the band off if the canary injured it’s leg? Please reply I am so worried about my canary.
Hi, where do you get those cages?
Hi ! They are such a small bird for those big eggs
Please tell me let me what month they start breed?!!!!
Canaries are geared more towards lighting. When the lighting and warmth increase it sparks their interest and they come into breeding condition. Typically if you are following the schedule of the sun in the Western Hemisphere they will start breeding around March.
When the canary egg is empty there is no embryo what should you do, for an overseas canary breeder? Thank you
My female canary has 2 babies and the parents are fighting.what to do?
Isnt it winter where you are, if so how if the light level is dropping for winter do you get them to breed?
I have the birds in my shed where I control the lighting and the temperature.
First time a buy a pair of canaries should i put them together on the cage
whats the best food to give a red factor? and do you have a video to show how to tell a male canary and a female.
There are food colorings that you can put in their water to keep them with their red coloring. I have mentioned in some of my canary videos on how to tell the sexes. but it is difficult to tell the sexes of canaries.
Can the birds breed before the spring season?
what kind of food do you give to your canaries?
I give regular small finch mix of seed. I also have a cuttle bone in the cage at all times and as well I give them egg food and soaked seeds while they are breeding.
hi do you have heating in your bird room
Will the dye work on any birds pigeons etc
What do u feed to get more color
What bodyshape is good for a canary?
Love the canary updates.
There are different sizes of canaries some breeds like the glosters are usually a bigger type of canary and then there are others like the lizard or the timbrado canaries are typically a smaller breed. So it depends on what you are wanting.
and please tell us the exact ratio of the seeds you give in a mix?
I don't know the exact ratio. The seed that I buy i already pre-mixed so i'm not sure sure what ratios they use.
what color will they produce

what is the ideal temperature to breed? how about light regimen?

How much do they cost in the us? here in uk i get them for £10 each.,most they go for is £60 a pair,satinettes.mosic satinettes.
They will usually go for 60-100 per bird depending on the color.
@@birdnerd wow
thats crazy
Where are you located?
Sir in how many days canaries give eggs and how many days give to baby birth thank so much sir for videos and i saw your videos from afghanistan love you sir
If your pair is in breeding condition. you can expect eggs anywhere from 1-3 weeks after they build a nest. The eggs will hatch anywhere from 14-18 days after being laid.
What do you think of birds roasting in a nest box. My society birds like to huddle together during the winter?
Yeah that's fine, mine love to stuff into a nest box at night. If you are trying to breed them then I would suggest separating the pairs so they all can't cram into the nest.
Can't wait bout 3 weeks left hear and wer of in ireland
Awesome! Thanks for watching

Canaries are solitary birds and males will fight when in breeding condition I would keep them separate.

Yes keep them separate
So they can get to know
Each other.
My canary has been laying eggs inside there food dish what do you recommend me doing for her I got them a nest like yours but I don’t know what to do

She immediately took them out of the baskets, so I put them back in the seeds and gave them a different seed cup. Thought I'd do a little searching on what to do.

Watch the budgies with the finches as they kill them and do you have another cockatiel as well ??
Yes I am keeping an eye on them. I have had them in a mixed aviary in the past and I have had some that were aggressive towards the other birds and some that were very docil. If they become aggressive I will rehome them.
