Canary FAQ

Posted by Nancy Pryor on September 11, 2004 at 13:00:53:

I have a 9 month old male and female canary. Got the male in Jan 2004 & the female in May 2004. Initially they got on fine together in a cage & soon the female produced 2 unfertilized eggs. The male fed her intermittently and I noticed in time that particularly in the evenings, the female would get off her nest & go after the male for no reason at all. She would spread her wings & assume an "attack mode". Seemed she wanted to get on the highest perch & wasn't going to let up until the male retreated to a corner in the bottom of the cage. He would initially spread his wings & try to defend himself but to no avail. Once he tried to disappear, the female would go back to the nest. This continued for several days so I moved the male to a separate cage next to hers so they can see each other. Once not long ago I saw her do the spread wing attack mode again from her cage & he did it from his. What is this all about? I'm afraid to put them back together again. She has subsequently laid 3 more unfertilized eggs & is nesting on them again. He sings to her throughout the day & she peeps at him a lot from her nest. I'm really puzzled. HELP
