Canary breeding has spread in Germany for centuries, and canary birds that came from cold climates have grown to be able to withstand the cold very well, yet when breeding canary it is very important to know the environmental conditions that are kept, and the canary should adapt slowly to Low or high temperatures over a period of time.
The Canary is exposed to stress and stress when it moves into a new home or environment. The immune system will be exposed to some problems in the first place. It needs special attention. When raising canary at home, you need to quarantine for at least a month to protect other birds from diseases , And restore the building of its immune system.
- - Canary breeding in large cages (collective):
If canary is raised and kept in large cages outside the house, they should be protected from air and rain currents. Of course, cages should be covered because they protect your canary from wild bird droppings, and wild bird droppings can infect canaries with parasites or bacteria and viruses. , In addition wild birds often carry mites.
- - Canary breeding in small cages:
If you prefer to grow your canary indoors, you should choose a bright area, enough daylight is important for their health as well as preparing them for breeding when the time comes.
The cage area should be at least 24 x 16 x 16 inches and even the largest Canary breeds such as Canary Yorkshire, as well as regular accessories in cages such as perch, seed dishes, water, sand or newspapers to cover the cage floor.
- - Canary's willingness to reproduce:
Canary and male canaries are placed in the breeding cage during the breeding season, which tends to begin breeding in the second half of March. Canary birds soon begin to build the nest. In most cases, they will lay their eggs in open nests, Nesting material for a dish If you decide that this is a good place to make a family, however, the Canary can accept a closed nest in the absence of a suitable open nest, which is best, because eggs or young people are less likely to fall.
At the beginning of the breeding season, the female male is flirting, and when mated in one day and rarely two days, the Canary (4-5) eggs are marked with green or blue, and the eggs are incubated after incubation period (13-14) ). In the first few days, small canaries depend on the protein-rich parents' milk produced by the vesicle. After about four days, food can be supplied from eggs.
After the first few days eggs can be served in addition to seeds, and can be mixed with commercial baknari food to boiled eggs including egg shells to provide calcium, can be mixed with wheat bread or grated carrots, boil the eggs for twelve to fourteen minutes to ensure no transmission Diseases to Canaries.
- Possible Canary Breeding Problems:
* Feather removal:
Feather removal is the most common problem among Canary birds due to the overcrowding within the cage and the lack of space required for each bird. In some cases adult birds will begin to remove canary feathers, and we will need to take some measures so that this behavior can not spread among the canary birds inside the cage. Note that the canary even recognizes which bird does it and keeps it away from the cage immediately.
* Canary juniors do not grow or die:
The Canary girl puts one egg every day until she finishes laying eggs, so the eggs do not hatch in one day, and the younger Canary's chances of getting food diminish, because the older Canary and the size and strength will receive more food, Growth and, in some cases, death, this problem can be solved by removing an egg egg once it is placed and removed from the nest until the eggs are complete. Then we return all eggs to the cage or nest where the female canary simultaneously incubates and hatchs simultaneously. Canary gets equal chances.
