: : Does a canary stop singing due to weather/ seasonal  changes, like winter.  I have had my roller canary for 6 months.  From the day I bought him he was singing like a trooper.  We have just come out of a 4 month winter here in South Africa and he did not sing throughout the winter and is not really singing now apart from a sporadic tweet here and there.

: : Is this normal?

: It's normal for a canary to stop singing during the moult.  Moulting normally takes place in the Summer.  Singing resumes in the Fall.

: The most common reasons that canaries fail to sing are improper lighting, vermin infestations, a harsh environment, and/or a poor diet.  Canaries need the same hours of light as occurs in nature.  If a light is on in the room at night, then cover the cage with a towel from dusk to dawn.  The room where the bird is kept should be relatively quiet.  In a place with loud music, screaming kids, barking dogs, or a cat leaping at the cage, you can't expect a canary to sing.  Canaries, finches, and parakeets should be sprayed once a week with an avian insecticide that contains .05% pyrethrin as the active ingredient.
