Diet: Your canary needs a proper canary diet in order to sing beautiful canary songs. Canaries that sing beautiful canary songs are healthy! The mainstay of your canaries diet should be fresh, premium canary seed. Vegetables, cooked rice, dark leafy green lettuce, cooked pasta, fruits and eggfood are very important, too. Cuttlebone and crushed oyster shell provide calcium and nutrients And, of course, provide your canary with fresh water at all times.

Housing: A clean canary cage is essential for a canary to produce beautiful canary songs. Droppings and food debris cultivate bacteria and illness. You must develop a daily and weekly cage cleaning routine to keep your bird singing beautiful canary songs. The cage must be of adequate size to offer the bird exercise; 15" x 15" should be a minimum sized canary cage. Place the cage in an area where the temperature will be consistently moderate and where your canary will be free from drafts.

Sleep: Canaries need approximately 12 hours of sleep or dark, quiet time per day. Consider keeping your canary out of household traffic areas so that it will have enough quiet time.

Training: Canaries learn canary songs from imitation. Single kept canaries need to hear and learn canary songs in order to produce melodies and canary songs. Provide your canary with high quality recordings of canary songs to teach it canary songs. Remember, canaries won't sing when they are ill or when they are molting.
