How to choose a singing canary?

The best way not to be mistaken is to hear the birds singing. But whether the kenar will sing depends largely on the environment and his well-being.

Being in the bird market among other animals, canaries get nervous and are in no hurry to please passers-by with their singing. And there are also reverse situations. Brave, curious canaries, on the contrary, start teasing games and copy the surrounding sounds: the cries of talking parrots, the cries of other birds, the words of passers-by. They may like the new repertoire so much that they will repeat it for a long time!

In pet stores, canaries can also be silent. Usually this is due to incorrect content, for example, due to lack of space in the cage. Perhaps you have seen how several canaries huddle in one tiny cage? Such an environment is not conducive to music lessons.

Adult kenars should sit in separate cages. Everyone is in their own!

If the kenar is stubbornly silent, ask the seller at what time it is sung. Often canaries sing in the morning or in the evening, at hours when there are not very many people in the store yet. Try to come at this time.

There are more chances to hear a canary singing if you buy it from a breeder. A familiar home is the best environment for singing.

When choosing a pet, do not focus only on the voice. Examine the appearance of the bird, observe its behavior. A healthy canary has even, dense plumage, clean eyes and beak, as well as the area under the tail. She is cheerful, cheerful and curious. Apathy and lack of interest in what is happening is an alarming symptom.

If a bird looks tired, it is not tired – it is sick!

Where to buy kenar?

You can buy a kenar at a pet store, bird market or from a breeder. The third option is the most reliable. Firstly, from a responsible breeder you are guaranteed to get a healthy and well-bred bird, with all the necessary certificates. And secondly, vocal talent is inherited, and professional breeders “train” singers from generation to generation, strengthening their best qualities.

Don’t be in a hurry to get a pet. Read the forums, get to know the breeders and their offers, see reviews about them. Having studied enough information, you can make an informed choice.

Exchange contacts with the breeder. You can always contact him if you have any questions. And he will be pleased to know how your pet is doing.

When to buy kenar?

A non-singing canary is ready to move to a new home within a month after birth. However, you should not rush with canaries. First they need to get stronger and sing.

At what age does a canary begin to sing? Everything is individual here, but the chicks most often do not sing. The formation of vocal talents will take more than one week. In addition, at the age of 2-6 months, the canary is waiting for the test of molting. The first molt is a great stress for the body, and the bird does not have time for songs during this period. The love of music will return about a month after the change of feathers.

The ideal age for buying a kenar is from 6 months, when the molt is left behind. The six-month-old canary is already socialized and ready to move to a new home. Having adapted and got used to the owner, she will definitely demonstrate her singing talents. And good news for you: the best is yet to come! No matter how beautifully the canary sings now, his musical abilities will be fully revealed only by one year. You will be surprised more than once by his beautiful song!
