Canary FAQ

OK...Hi Costas! I'm back on the message board...I can see exactly what Robirda is
talking about re. stress. When a canary shares his territory in a cage with other
birds, he is always in defensive mode, feeling challenged and on edge most likely.
Constant stress causes health problems in every type of species, including humans!
So giving canaries their own cage makes them able to relax more and feel like they
have their own kingdom. They don't have to fight, chase other birds or guard their
"spot" in the cage, share food and water, or perch space. No cage is big enough to
replicate freedom in the wild where apparently, canaries tend to be solitary except
for the breeding season. As you know, my canary, Chuck, comes out and flies
happily around with all my parakeets, my conures and quaker, my Bourke's and my
parrotlet, but he sure doesn't want anyone in his cage! He likes the cameraderie of
the flock and actually is somewhat social with the other birds, yet when he goes
back in the cage he is in his own little safety zone, able to relax, eat, and sleep.
Thus, no stress! We'll see how long he lives..he is only 2! I think he definitely
enjoys having other birds AROUND him, just not in his territory.
