Small Pet Bird Cages

21.09.11

When purchasing a limited pet bird cage , don’t think minimum largeness, try to size up. “So many people buy the finch-size cages for budgies,” said John Miles a umpire for the American Budgerigar Society ( www.abs1.org ) and a budgie breeder. But truly a budgie needs a cage that is at least 24 by 24 by 24 inches. Miles prefers a do a moonlight flit cage about 3-feet-long to allow the birds to fly around within the cage.

Unfortunately, some finch-sized cages don’t yield enough room for even a finch. Pet finches and canaries often spend most, if not all, of the day in a enclose, which means there should be room to fly back and forth in the cage.

For waxbills and canaries, Ian Hinze, a finch boffin and former BIRD TALK columnist, recommends a box restrict of 4-feet long and 2-feet square for a pair of birds. Then, if you no longer deficiency the birds to breed, you can divide the cage in two and still have room for each one bird to live comfortably.

Most experts insist that finches be kept in pairs. Canaries , on the other convenient, males in particular, can be housed separately. “The biggest misconstrue I see people making is thinking a male canary needs a team-mate,” said Darrell Horst, a canary breeder for 12 years. “A unattached male canary is just fine by himself. He will actually pipe more when housed by himself.”

Canaries 101; beauty, song and an International...

by noreply@allvoices.com

We've all heard the expression ‘canary in the coal mine' in reference to warning humans of unsafe conditions , as well as for species trying to survive the changes we're wreaking upon the environment. It means that a creature far more sensitive than we are will suffer noticeably before we are even aware there's a problem with the air, water, soil or food.

Even so, how many of us know what a canary really is?

When people find out I raise canaries, they tend to assume I have one or two, that all canaries are the same, and that they are short-lived novelties that sing one pre-programmed song but otherwise have no personality or pet value. They think of a canary as a simple singing automaton.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

So what exactly IS a canary?

The domesticated canary (Serinus canaria), is a small passerine that comes originally from (yes) the Canary Islands, and is actually a large finch species. While it is true that they are far more sensitive to contaminates (especially air-borne) than most other species, canaries aren't as delicate as some fear.

Belonging to the most advanced of avian varieties, canaries have amazing stamina and vigor unless overly inbred. A pampered pet can live almost 20 years. Many hardier canary breeds are so tough that in frigid climates they can withstand brutal cold AS LONG as they are fed well and kept dry and out of drafts.

Paradoxically, providing a shallow saucer of ice cold bath water each day is one of the best ways to keep a canary healthy. The cold water helps tighten the feathers and spread the oils so that those feathers become one of the very best insulators in the animal kingdom. If you want to see a happy, excited canary, gently place the saucer in the cage and stand back as he flutters and splashes with glee!

It might surprise you to find out there are many breeds of this charming little bird. This is a truly International fancy, with distinct canary breeds arising all around the globe. There are breeds selected for ‘type', or looks, like body shape, color, plumage (frills, Beatle wigs), size and even posture. Shows are held for virtually every breed. Competition is fierce and is serious business among hobbyists around the world.
