I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I lost 3 of my original canaries back in December 2022, and before seeing this video I did all of these things without knowing that's how you tamed them. The ones that have passed did have moments when they would randomly hope on me. This helps assure they knew I loved them and that they started to feel the same towards me before they passed.
I have taken a found canary on February 13th. I never thought she'd ever come near my hands, but since yesterday, she started to inspect them. My scared birdie is now a handtame canary that likes to be with me everywhere. Canaries are amazing pets. She's always flying loose. She has her safe spaces on top of the closets, in the plant bins, on the watercooket, well, anywhere she pleases really. I don't bother her, she will talk to me, or come to me herself if she wants attention. Her body language will tell if she appreciates me being closes or not. Today she even slept close to me when I took a little nap. My house is a mess, because I took my time to enjoy these moments with her. The first landing on my arm, jead, first time sirting on me for a while, first time landing on my finger, eating deom my hand. it was amazing. it IS amazing. My scardy birdie has become a sweet companion that loves close contact.
I loved reading this so much! 🥰 it really shows the amount of love you have for your sweet and also very lucky canary 💛 and it's also the best life ever, doing what they please and searching for contact if they want to 🥰 the smallest creatures have the biggest personalities 💛
@@LemonBirbs bro today my little canary was flying around the house and then something happened and suddenly I see my canary literally sitting with his body on the floor and then I took him to see that both of his legs were absolutely numb and one of them is bleeding, is there a way to help him or is the only way putting him to sleep?😭😭😭
My yellow Canary named Nugget is such a good boy! The moment I let him out the cage he immediately wanted to land on me but was hesitant. He likes to be close to me he's just a little weary with my hands. When I greet him in the morning he wiggles his butt and starts listening to what I'm saying. Honestly I love my bird and he knows it! thanks for the tips looking forward to seeing more from you 💛
A year ago my grandma canary had 3 babies. I noticed that the mother was ignoring the smallest one and feeding the 2 bigger ones. In the past the mother had done the same thing and the smallest one always died. To prevent this from happening again I took the smallest one to feed. I then placed him back in the nest hoping the mother will just sit on him because I didn’t know how to keep him warm. Once I did that the mother stoped feeding the other 2 and would not sit in her nest. So I ended up taking the other 2 and had the responsibility of taking care of 3 newborn canaries. I did a good job and raised them to be fully feathered canaries. Once they learned how to fly around the house the two older ones would have nothing to do with me but the little one would always fly to my shoulder and just chill with me. I had a plan to go to Florida for a week and had to leave them with my grandma. When I came back the little one had passed and I was very Heartbroken. I felt guilt. My grandma said he just got sick out of nowhere. Maybe the mother canary knew that the youngest was weak and was going to die that why she was focusing on the other 2 but at least I tried and I hoped he lived a great life even if it was short.
Awww you have done the best thing you could 💛 he lived a short life, but at least a well fed and loved one. Sometimes rescueing an animal is sadly impossible for us

I couldn't agree more with you, especially about their 'safe space'! And broccoli is the best treat for them for sure! I definitely need to train more with mine, but mommy is lazy🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈 thanks for the video!! Can't wait for more🥰🥰🥰
Cutest birds ever. My canary really likes apples, and sometimes when I sit next to her cage, she seems intrigued. When I try to grab her for whatever reason, nail clipping or whatever, she acts like her hour has come. So dramatic! Very cute.
Ooooh. You know they look very easy to tame but it's actually more spiritual and emotional. If they really feel that u love them they will become your babies ❤️ I love how u suggested treats too. It's like a small cheat code even if they're mad they will be near u to eat treats lol. Keep it up ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Greetings from Switzerland 😊. I've bern watching my friend's canary this week and discovered that canaries are social if you pay attention and give them space. They enjoy being talked to and love being outside of the cage when it suits them. Your video makes me think I could be happy with a canary again and not a budgie.❤
@@robertkerr9527 Canaries truly are amazing little creatures 🥰 but so are budgies (I personally would go for canaries all the way 😂 I love them so much!) 😍

@@LemonBirbs Dat is leuk...hahaha Je spreekt erg goed Engels moet ik zeggen, maar ik zie echt uit naar nieuwe video's, komen die er nog aan denk je? ---
I know 😊💛 but it's even possible to tame canaries that weren't raised by hand 😄 there are a lot of people that have tamed their canaries (with different ages) 💛
My canary was afraid of hands and fingers for 7-8 years. But when he could no longer fly and fell ill, I cared for him closely, and after that, he was never scared of our hands again. Sadly, he passed away yesterday because of Bornavirus. I couldn’t save him… and now I feel so empty and lost without him.
My mother once brought me a canary, and i was very pissed off by that. But i figured out how am i gonna tame him and he stood on my shoulder after a month just like a parekeet. If you scare them for once they wont be near you anymore at all costs
I have a pet canary and its always afraid of me, I had no idea on how to train it to be more familiar with me! After watching this, my bird is now more chill around me!
Because there are some canaries that truly do not wish to be closento humans at all, and I don't want people pushing those birds for interactions 💛 Animals need to be able to show what they want to do and not what we want them to do 💛
My canary sadly doesn’t eat if he’s out of his cage :( I have been taking him out of cage for about a year now, and if manually put his feet on my fingers he can stay for 20 seconds. Any tips?
One that's big enough to have at least 3 different sized perches inside and where they can still fly a little too 😄 our cage is 78x47,5x81cm, and they also love a wider cage more than a tall one 💛
Hi I have a question, can a domestic female canary coexist with wild western tanagers in a cage? Will they be able to keep each other company and mate?
So beautiful birds, love them. I was wondering what you do with poops when they are outside the cage ? Also what diet you give to the birds, you change it if they are in productive period?
I have another video about their diet on this channel 😄 it's the latest one we have uploaded. I clean the poops every evening, very managable with just a wet cloth 😄
When I was a kid, I had a young budgie fly out an accidentally opened window after being with me only 3 days. How do you let your canaries free fly without escaping?
We only open the windows at night when my partner and I both know for sure they are both in their cage (we lock them in their cage when they sleep) and we check every window like 3 times before opening the cage again 😄. And if we want to open the window during the day we communicate and make sure the canaries are inside the cage and locked in (they easily jump in of we bring them to the cage). We also have an extra door between the front door and house and our house rule is that one of the doors must be closed at all times when the other one is being openend, but if we expect visitors we lock the birds inside their cage to prevent possible accidents. We take a lot of precautions 🙈
Mine mostly sit in the same places (on their playgrounds, on me, near us) and we have napkins and blankets on those places 😄 very easy to switch out of they poop on there. Also their poops are very easily removable with a wet cloth 😄
Of course every individual bird is different and it the case with taming them too. I ve got my tamed whithout any special methods even he was already an adult bird. Anyway canaries like to sing the most and not to play games like parrots. In any case it is nicer to be closer to these beautiful little friends... 🐦
So I just got this canary I think he's just over 6 months old. His owner couldn't take care of him anymore . And I don't know much about canaries. I'm talking to him every day and sitting with him. He has had no training previously. I've only had him for 4 days I'm holding food in my hand. I'm patient with him. At the moment he's just getting used to me sitting I know he wants the food out of my hand but he's not sure about this at the moment. I want to be able to let him out for a fly around. And hopefully returned to my hand to be put back in his cage do you think this is possible with what I'm doing at the moment 🤔O And i think you and your birds are amazing. You must put an awful amount of time into them. That's why I thought you were the best person to ask. Your videos are very interesting and informative thank you 😀
Hiya! Thankyou for taking care of him! I bet his previous owner really appreciates that! 💛 Four days is a very short time for a canary to get fully accustomed to his new life and surroundings, so that may cause him to be even more uncertain of what to do. The goal you want to achieve is definitely possible, but may take a looot of time (days to months to years) depending on the birds character and respecting his boundaries, but possible! And thankyou so much! I do indeed put all my time into them (and have done multiple behavioural studies in my current study) 😂
Hi I have a question, my canary keeps flying from one side of the cage to the other side and only stops to eat and bath is it something I should be concerned about?
Ik had een gewonde kanarie gevonden buiten, na het bezoek aan de dierenarts besloot ik om haar zelf te houden. Ze heeft alles wat ze moet hebben, een ruime kooi, bad, eten, snacks, water, stokjes, spiegel, speelgoed,… alleen weet ik niet of ze gelukkig is. Hoe kun je zien of een kanarie zich goed voelt? Hoe weet je of ze helemaal niet tam wilt gemaakt worden? Alvast bedankt!
Ze heeft het in ieder geval goed getroffen bij jou! 💛 als kanaries gelukkig zijn dan laten ze dit vaak zien door te badderen, poetsen, lekker hun eigen ding te doen, goed te eten en drinken en fluiten (al doen voornamelijk mannetjes dat). Kortom ze zijn dan lekker de hele tijd bezig 😄 Het niet tam willen zijn merk je eigenlijk pas in het proces. Als er vanaf de eerste stap al een langere tijd (ook deze stap kan weken duren) geen positieve veranderingen zijn en dat ze minder comfortabel lijkt, dan zal ze niet tam willen worden. Maar ook dit kan na een lange periode en vertrouwen winnen door niks te doen en alleen de dagelijkse verzorging, verbeteren waardoor het ooit wel mogelijk zal zijn 😄
İ know that it's been a year. but i really need your help with something l, so i've just got a new canary and i am in my grandma's house so i can't let it fly in the house, will this affect the bird and won't make it love me? Waiting for your response
It will be different as your bird can't leave it's safe space and therefore you need to enter it's safe space (which is not advicable) 😊 Do you live there permanently or temporary? Otherwise I would try to keep most of the contact outside of the cage 😊 Also never push your bird to sit on you or have contact with you if it doesn't want that, that only works the wrong way
It is possible if they have enough space (big cage and lot's of outside the cage time), but they can start fighting for dominance or due to hormones during breeding season.
Hi. I would like to have one canary male for the first time and I'd like to ask you some things can I? Is he loud in the morning? Could I sleep with him in one room? If he would be often in his cage, how large at last should the Cage be? He prefer longer cage than tall as I heard. Is dust dangerous for him? How often he need special send and cutting nails? And if I must leave him alone for one weekend and I will give him enough food and water, will he be ok? And can I replace his cage for night next the wall and at the day replaced the Cage in front of the window to have more sun? Thank you for answer 🙏 and sorry for bad English 🐦
Woah, that's a lot of questions buddu, I may not have canarirs yet but I think I can help you with some of your questions, is that Ok ? 1) Is he gonna be loud in the morning?: YES yes he will most likely be, and not just in the morning, if you have other birds he will likely even try to mimic their dounds in his song. 2)Could you sleep in the same room with him?: It depends, I personally have no issue sleeping in the same room as my birds but some people may have allergies to the dust that bird feathers produce. 3)How big should his cage be?: Although a finch or budgie flight cage is the best option I would say that a breeding cage(around 60 cm in length) can still be a great option if he doesn'r spend too much time in the cage. 4)should the cage be long or tall?: Preferably both, birds like to fly horisontaly but they still need some height to feel comfortable. Depending on how much time he spends out of his cage you may even be able to get away with a cage that is taller than is long. 5)Is dust dangerous to canaries?: Birds have a very fragile resperatory system, and canaries are no exception,dust particles in the air can cause resperatoty infections and other health related problems. 6)Will he need to have his nails cut?: Almost all birds will have to get their naild trimmed every once in a while, however you can slow the need for a nail trim by using natural wood perches, platforms and consrete perches(never sand perches). 7)Can I leave the bird for the weekend and will it be fine?: You will need to have someone come and check on the bird at least once a day if you are gone, they will also be able to do some dasic meintenance such as changing the wather in case the birds taked a nath in the wather dowl, or if you use water bottles change in case it starts leaking. 8)Can I use a differect cage for sleeping?: You probably can but I dont reccoment it, it's better to just move the cage from the window to the place where the birds will be sleeping. Have a great rest of the day buddy !
@@Samtaraki Hii! So sorry for the late reply. Are you certain its scaly feet? I know that some cream could help, but that can also damage the feathers of the bird (making them become unable to fly and keep themselves warm). I think the best treatment is a medicine from the vet with Ivermectine in it. But this medicine can vary from name and brand in your country as I am from Netherland 😄 but if you call your avian vet or maybe a poultry vet they will know what medicine and in what dosage is best for your bird! 💛
How often are you giving him formula? Try to provide solid food and give less formula 😄 do you have other birds? Maybe set him close so he can see and copy foraging and eating behaviour
@@LemonBirbs After every 2 hours i give him formula. Yes, i also have other canary birds if you remember i have told you this before that his mother is not taking care of him and now she is preparing to breed again in her cage. Is it possible that this baby bird would never eat seeds in his life if i keep feeding him formula?
@@hsedits101 is it the same canary you told about 10 days ago? Stating that it was just a few days old then? Can you maybe contact me on our Facebook or Instagram chat and send photos of the juvenile canary? Its best to see the juvenile for me to give adjusted advice. What we do in the rescue centre is provide solid food at all times and handfeed a little less the older the animals get, we make sure they see the older birds so they can copy them and have an example on how to be a bird
Hello! Thank u for sharing this. I tried with my bird but unfortunately it has some bad attitude like biting and three user actions that I can't control, well u pls help me fix this? I wanna send to h some vids about the situation, so tell me how I can contact u if u dont mind
Hii! Is it bad attitude, or are you maybe not seeing his boundaries and crossing them? I have different social media platforms of lemon.birbs, the links are in the description below the video 😄
Hii yes ofcourse! You can either ask your question here or via a dm on Facebook or Instagram (those are linked in the description of the video), whatever you prefer 😄
i have one cannary bird baby born just few days ago but he is very weak. Her mother is not feeding him properly. I'm afraid he is going to die. What should i do?
How is it going now with your canaries? I hope I am not the only one you contacted with this problem. The best thing you can do it find out if there might be something wrong with the youngster and maybe get help from an avian vet. If the mother is not feeding properly then you might need to feed the youngster, depending on its health
@@LemonBirbs He is fine now I have started to handfeed him with Kaytee exact formula. I feed him every 2 to 3 hours as he digest quickly. Thank you for showing your concern.
I was gifted one of these birds after his friend's died but I always feel bad for him sitting alone in his cage. He mostly just looks at his mirror, so I wanted to tame him so I could interact with him. Since it's an older bird I worry getting him a friend might just make them fight instead. I sometimes put on bird noises on my phone for him though
Aww thankyou for taking care of him 💛 I think your bird might like to have a companion as well as spending time with you 😄 some canaries can live alone, but if they had companions before and he is looking at his mirror mostly, that is an indication that he might miss another canary to chirp too or to have fun with 😄
My canarys know me and aren't scared of me but they don't come to sit in my head or my hand I dont know why,they breeded and got 2 eggs one of the hatched and the another egg hasn't hatched but the one which hatched doesn't run but I'm afraid I will hurt them if I touch them and they have already full hair, still...
Aww they know you're not dangerous, but might indeed still be a bit wary just in case 😄 If you want to touch their baby I would wait until it's a fledgling 💛 that way you might be more confident with possibly picking him up 😄
Hello, I really enjoy your videos! I have a beautiful American Singer named Maestro, about 8 years old, who wants a companion. What do you recommend? Have u a website? I love your taming techniques. I was told that canaries can’t be hand tamed, so thank you for showing the truth!
Hii! He sounds great! I think it's great to pair him with a female 😄 People often say they will stop singing once they are paired, but I know a loooot of paired canaries that still sing as much as "normal" 🥰 our female even sings together with our male 💛 I am active on different social media platforms like Facebook (LemonBirbs) and Instagram (@lemon.birbs) 😄 we do not have a website (yet)
I would love to acquire a hand tamed female! Do you know of any needing a home? I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, if you can recommend any like-minded breeders or rescues/fosters. How can I allow them together, without breeding?
My canaries were tame from the very beginning 😄 I had to raise them by hand when they were only 10 days old (their parents escaped the aviary at their previous owners their house) and they have always seen me as their mother 💛 One of my friends also has a half tame canary (and he started taming him when the canary was already a few years old) and he's now working with him for over a year. But it's so amazing to see the progres 🥰 His canary will now fly onto his head and hopefully soon also on his hands 💛
@@ukiyo_5306 If you have the time, space and money I would definitely adopt canaries 🥰 they bring sooo much happiness into your life even when they aren't tame 💛
@@kelseyphillips7086 I am honestly not entirely sure what type of canaries they are since I have never seen their parents (who escaped at their previous owner their home). But they sure have hearts of gold and a character full of mischief 🥰
Our canary didn't want to be tamed for a while. But when we discovered he was just afraid of fingers, we could do a lot more :)
Yess, it's often the fingers they are afraid of 😄
So.. you removed your fingers??
Update: today he ate some seads out of my hand for the first time. He does it over and over now, lol. Never hoped of that but it worked!

Hii, sorry for the very late reply 🙈 I don't know the answer to your question honestly, sorry! 😅
So lovely birds 💛💛
Wow amazing nice may friend bird canary kolor yellow. 👍💞🌹🌹🌹🐦🐦🐦🐦👍👍👍
Dankjewel! Mooi mens ben je
Dankjewel!
Wonderful video and a very comfy watch. If you don't mind the question where is that accent from I can't place it
Thankyou so much! I am from Netherland 😄
@@LemonBirbs thanks for the answer
Kiiroitori ❤🐤
ماشاءالله الله يديمو يارب
So beautiful birds, love them. I was wondering what you do with poops when they are outside the cage ? Also what diet you give to the birds, you change it if they are in productive period?
I have another video about their diet on this channel 😄 it's the latest one we have uploaded. I clean the poops every evening, very managable with just a wet cloth 😄
💛💛
It’s beautiful 😍. Can you please tell me where can I get a cage similar like that one 🙂
We have bought this one from avonturia.nl. it's called the Fiona bird cage 😄 I think it's also on amazon
Thank you so much 😊
ODER 1 FROM FISH AND FEATHERS I HAVE THE SAME CAGE
Hi nice video! What's the size of your cage?thanks
Thankyou! The cage in the video is 70 x 40 x 80 cm 😄 but I have upgraded the cage last year for one that is 80 x 50 x 110 cm 🥰
@@LemonBirbs wow，lucky birds got you as owner
When I was a kid, I had a young budgie fly out an accidentally opened window after being with me only 3 days. How do you let your canaries free fly without escaping?
We only open the windows at night when my partner and I both know for sure they are both in their cage (we lock them in their cage when they sleep) and we check every window like 3 times before opening the cage again 😄. And if we want to open the window during the day we communicate and make sure the canaries are inside the cage and locked in (they easily jump in of we bring them to the cage). We also have an extra door between the front door and house and our house rule is that one of the doors must be closed at all times when the other one is being openend, but if we expect visitors we lock the birds inside their cage to prevent possible accidents. We take a lot of precautions 🙈
My mom doesn’t let me free them in the house because she thinks there going to poop everywhere so I don’t know what to do
Mine mostly sit in the same places (on their playgrounds, on me, near us) and we have napkins and blankets on those places 😄 very easy to switch out of they poop on there. Also their poops are very easily removable with a wet cloth 😄
What a lovely video
❤❤❤❤
wonderful! thank you
Too Cute
Of course every individual bird is different and it the case with taming them too. I ve got my tamed whithout any special methods even he was already an adult bird. Anyway canaries like to sing the most and not to play games like parrots. In any case it is nicer to be closer to these beautiful little friends... 🐦
Yess absolutely, and age indeed doesn't matter at all! 💛
Wow amazing 😊
So I just got this canary I think he's just over 6 months old. His owner couldn't take care of him anymore . And I don't know much about canaries. I'm talking to him every day and sitting with him. He has had no training previously. I've only had him for 4 days I'm holding food in my hand. I'm patient with him. At the moment he's just getting used to me sitting I know he wants the food out of my hand but he's not sure about this at the moment. I want to be able to let him out for a fly around. And hopefully returned to my hand to be put back in his cage do you think this is possible with what I'm doing at the moment 🤔O And i think you and your birds are amazing. You must put an awful amount of time into them. That's why I thought you were the best person to ask. Your videos are very interesting and informative thank you 😀
Hiya! Thankyou for taking care of him! I bet his previous owner really appreciates that! 💛
Four days is a very short time for a canary to get fully accustomed to his new life and surroundings, so that may cause him to be even more uncertain of what to do. The goal you want to achieve is definitely possible, but may take a looot of time (days to months to years) depending on the birds character and respecting his boundaries, but possible!
And thankyou so much! I do indeed put all my time into them (and have done multiple behavioural studies in my current study) 😂
Good canary
Nice canary 🥰
Omg how did you do that. I gotta watch the video
❤
Beautiful Canary, thanks for the nice explanation
Perfect🙏
Mantaaap boskuh👍

Amazing
Hi I have a question, my canary keeps flying from one side of the cage to the other side and only stops to eat and bath is it something I should be concerned about?
This could be various things like being bored or having too much energy or something else. How big is their cage and do you give them enrichment?
@Lemon Birbs well we just got her and we will try to get her out of their cage more
Çok güzel maşallah
Super.
Ik had een gewonde kanarie gevonden buiten, na het bezoek aan de dierenarts besloot ik om haar zelf te houden. Ze heeft alles wat ze moet hebben, een ruime kooi, bad, eten, snacks, water, stokjes, spiegel, speelgoed,… alleen weet ik niet of ze gelukkig is. Hoe kun je zien of een kanarie zich goed voelt? Hoe weet je of ze helemaal niet tam wilt gemaakt worden? Alvast bedankt!
Ze heeft het in ieder geval goed getroffen bij jou! 💛 als kanaries gelukkig zijn dan laten ze dit vaak zien door te badderen, poetsen, lekker hun eigen ding te doen, goed te eten en drinken en fluiten (al doen voornamelijk mannetjes dat). Kortom ze zijn dan lekker de hele tijd bezig 😄
Het niet tam willen zijn merk je eigenlijk pas in het proces. Als er vanaf de eerste stap al een langere tijd (ook deze stap kan weken duren) geen positieve veranderingen zijn en dat ze minder comfortabel lijkt, dan zal ze niet tam willen worden. Maar ook dit kan na een lange periode en vertrouwen winnen door niks te doen en alleen de dagelijkse verzorging, verbeteren waardoor het ooit wel mogelijk zal zijn 😄
İ know that it's been a year. but i really need your help with something l, so i've just got a new canary and i am in my grandma's house so i can't let it fly in the house, will this affect the bird and won't make it love me? Waiting for your response
It will be different as your bird can't leave it's safe space and therefore you need to enter it's safe space (which is not advicable) 😊 Do you live there permanently or temporary? Otherwise I would try to keep most of the contact outside of the cage 😊
Also never push your bird to sit on you or have contact with you if it doesn't want that, that only works the wrong way
Lovely video 🥰
My canary sometime sit on my head and lap and shoulder but he isnt tamed why that ?
Mayne because he just wants to 😄 some birds are very curious 💛
@@LemonBirbs aww cute
Can I keep two male canaries together ?
It is possible if they have enough space (big cage and lot's of outside the cage time), but they can start fighting for dominance or due to hormones during breeding season.
Hi. I would like to have one canary male for the first time and I'd like to ask you some things can I? Is he loud in the morning? Could I sleep with him in one room? If he would be often in his cage, how large at last should the Cage be? He prefer longer cage than tall as I heard. Is dust dangerous for him? How often he need special send and cutting nails? And if I must leave him alone for one weekend and I will give him enough food and water, will he be ok? And can I replace his cage for night next the wall and at the day replaced the Cage in front of the window to have more sun? Thank you for answer 🙏 and sorry for bad English 🐦
Woah, that's a lot of questions buddu, I may not have canarirs yet but I think I can help you with some of your questions, is that Ok ?
1) Is he gonna be loud in the morning?: YES yes he will most likely be, and not just in the morning, if you have other birds he will likely even try to mimic their dounds in his song.
2)Could you sleep in the same room with him?:
It depends, I personally have no issue sleeping in the same room as my birds but some people may have allergies to the dust that bird feathers produce.
3)How big should his cage be?:
Although a finch or budgie flight cage is the best option I would say that a breeding cage(around 60 cm in length) can still be a great option if he doesn'r spend too much time in the cage.
4)should the cage be long or tall?:
Preferably both, birds like to fly horisontaly but they still need some height to feel comfortable. Depending on how much time he spends out of his cage you may even be able to get away with a cage that is taller than is long.
5)Is dust dangerous to canaries?:
Birds have a very fragile resperatory system, and canaries are no exception,dust particles in the air can cause resperatoty infections and other health related problems.
6)Will he need to have his nails cut?:
Almost all birds will have to get their naild trimmed every once in a while, however you can slow the need for a nail trim by using natural wood perches, platforms and consrete perches(never sand perches).
7)Can I leave the bird for the weekend and will it be fine?:
You will need to have someone come and check on the bird at least once a day if you are gone, they will also be able to do some dasic meintenance such as changing the wather in case the birds taked a nath in the wather dowl, or if you use water bottles change in case it starts leaking.
8)Can I use a differect cage for sleeping?:
You probably can but I dont reccoment it, it's better to just move the cage from the window to the place where the birds will be sleeping.
Have a great rest of the day buddy !
@@Thebeetlemangr thank you very much
Can you guys recommend something for scaly feet, please? Any medication would be appreciated. (🇺🇸)
@@Samtaraki Hii! So sorry for the late reply. Are you certain its scaly feet? I know that some cream could help, but that can also damage the feathers of the bird (making them become unable to fly and keep themselves warm). I think the best treatment is a medicine from the vet with Ivermectine in it. But this medicine can vary from name and brand in your country as I am from Netherland 😄 but if you call your avian vet or maybe a poultry vet they will know what medicine and in what dosage is best for your bird! 💛
i have almost 1 month old canary bird and he is still eating liquid handfeed formula. How do i make him eat sold food now?
How often are you giving him formula? Try to provide solid food and give less formula 😄 do you have other birds? Maybe set him close so he can see and copy foraging and eating behaviour
@@LemonBirbs After every 2 hours i give him formula. Yes, i also have other canary birds if you remember i have told you this before that his mother is not taking care of him and now she is preparing to breed again in her cage. Is it possible that this baby bird would never eat seeds in his life if i keep feeding him formula?
@@hsedits101 is it the same canary you told about 10 days ago? Stating that it was just a few days old then? Can you maybe contact me on our Facebook or Instagram chat and send photos of the juvenile canary? Its best to see the juvenile for me to give adjusted advice.
What we do in the rescue centre is provide solid food at all times and handfeed a little less the older the animals get, we make sure they see the older birds so they can copy them and have an example on how to be a bird
@@LemonBirbs Yes its the same bird. Sure, I'll share his pics/video with you on Instagram tomorrow.
Check your Instagram inbox please
Hello! Thank u for sharing this. I tried with my bird but unfortunately it has some bad attitude like biting and three user actions that I can't control, well u pls help me fix this? I wanna send to h some vids about the situation, so tell me how I can contact u if u dont mind
Hii! Is it bad attitude, or are you maybe not seeing his boundaries and crossing them?
I have different social media platforms of lemon.birbs, the links are in the description below the video 😄
Wow I like it 💖😍
Hello i have a canary bird question, could you help?
Hii yes ofcourse! You can either ask your question here or via a dm on Facebook or Instagram (those are linked in the description of the video), whatever you prefer 😄
Nice 👌
i have one cannary bird baby born just few days ago but he is very weak. Her mother is not feeding him properly. I'm afraid he is going to die. What should i do?
How is it going now with your canaries? I hope I am not the only one you contacted with this problem. The best thing you can do it find out if there might be something wrong with the youngster and maybe get help from an avian vet. If the mother is not feeding properly then you might need to feed the youngster, depending on its health
@@LemonBirbs He is fine now I have started to handfeed him with Kaytee exact formula. I feed him every 2 to 3 hours as he digest quickly. Thank you for showing your concern.
@@hsedits101 glad to hear he is still thriving! Hopefully he grows up to be a strong, healthy birdy
I was gifted one of these birds after his friend's died but I always feel bad for him sitting alone in his cage. He mostly just looks at his mirror, so I wanted to tame him so I could interact with him. Since it's an older bird I worry getting him a friend might just make them fight instead. I sometimes put on bird noises on my phone for him though
Aww thankyou for taking care of him 💛 I think your bird might like to have a companion as well as spending time with you 😄 some canaries can live alone, but if they had companions before and he is looking at his mirror mostly, that is an indication that he might miss another canary to chirp too or to have fun with 😄
thank yuou
My canarys know me and aren't scared of me but they don't come to sit in my head or my hand I dont know why,they breeded and got 2 eggs one of the hatched and the another egg hasn't hatched but the one which hatched doesn't run but I'm afraid I will hurt them if I touch them and they have already full hair,
still...
Aww they know you're not dangerous, but might indeed still be a bit wary just in case 😄 If you want to touch their baby I would wait until it's a fledgling 💛 that way you might be more confident with possibly picking him up 😄
Hello, I really enjoy your videos! I have a beautiful American Singer named Maestro, about 8 years old, who wants a companion. What do you recommend? Have u a website? I love your taming techniques. I was told that canaries can’t be hand tamed, so thank you for showing the truth!
Hii! He sounds great! I think it's great to pair him with a female 😄 People often say they will stop singing once they are paired, but I know a loooot of paired canaries that still sing as much as "normal" 🥰 our female even sings together with our male 💛
I am active on different social media platforms like Facebook (LemonBirbs) and Instagram (@lemon.birbs) 😄 we do not have a website (yet)
I would love to acquire a hand tamed female! Do you know of any needing a home? I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, if you can recommend any like-minded breeders or rescues/fosters. How can I allow them together, without breeding?
Interesting
Heyyy, I was wondering how long it took you to Tame your canaries? :)
My canaries were tame from the very beginning 😄 I had to raise them by hand when they were only 10 days old (their parents escaped the aviary at their previous owners their house) and they have always seen me as their mother 💛
One of my friends also has a half tame canary (and he started taming him when the canary was already a few years old) and he's now working with him for over a year. But it's so amazing to see the progres 🥰 His canary will now fly onto his head and hopefully soon also on his hands 💛
@@LemonBirbs thanks so much! I’m hoping to get a canary myself :)
@@ukiyo_5306 If you have the time, space and money I would definitely adopt canaries 🥰 they bring sooo much happiness into your life even when they aren't tame 💛
ماشاء الله انشاء نافورة
My canary is rescued from my aunt, because of their mistreatment he lost a leg and is afraid to go close to humans and I need to know how to help them
The steps that I mention in this video is a good start for this 😄 hopefully he has adapted to his one legged life 💛
What type of canary are your ones please? 😍
@@kelseyphillips7086 I am honestly not entirely sure what type of canaries they are since I have never seen their parents (who escaped at their previous owner their home). But they sure have hearts of gold and a character full of mischief 🥰
👍🦜👍👍
What are the breeds of birds?
I don't know as they are rescues and raised by hand since 10 days old 😅 but people have referred to them as waterslagers
