    My canary has the exact same collor as your bird. He's in a molt for 10 months now. He finally starts to look healthier and grow more feathers. It's because I changed his diet and I don't give him more than 12 hour of light. I put a cloth on his cage. It takes time for him to sing again. He used to sing a lot

    • @birdnerd
      @birdnerd  Před 4 lety +1

      How many hours of light are you giving him? anything less than 9 hours will keep them in a molt and the birds won't sing as much or at all if they are molting.

    Enjoyed the video! I raise fife canaries. They are in a very large aviary 15'x15'x8'. I use a combination of windows and artificial lights. I keep my artificial lights on 14 hours a day year round. My birds still follow the outdoor sun light and wind down as the sun sets. They began molting August and are finishing gradually now. The males are singing happily. They are not showing signs of interest in breeding yet. I was told that having lights on 14 hours daily is very bad.They enjoy the light so much I left them on 14 hours. I do hope that once the molt is complete that they start to show interest in breeding.

    My first canary...

      @@thelegendarydoggo2955 sounds like the begging of first stage of the molting process. Dumb question but have you tried playing birds sounds or even opera . Also give it some lattice or some apple and see if he reacts as long as he isn't puffed up at the bottom of a cage. That's is a very bad sign

    i have a male canary who hasn’t sang in 3 months.i checked his feathers and he has some of those old feathers u mentioned in your video. i think he is in a molt. he stoped singing around july and it is october 15 as of me writing this.i think he will take longer molting because i have a white canary that is always chasing him down and the molting canary is always breathing fast after they’re done. i let them free around the house from 9 Am to 10pm.10-12 hours a day.he’s eating well. looks healthy.crested yellow canary 😁⭐️ with lime green with black hair😁😄.is he molting? i’m concerned cause i want him to sing again😢. at most, long should canary’s molt ?

    Hi! Your baby is beautiful. My canary is molting but he is excessively picking at his legs (thigh) and around his bottom. His leg looks red and irritated since he’s picking at it so much. What do you recommend that I do?

    • @birdnerd
      @birdnerd  Před 3 lety +1

      Could possibly be mites. You can give him s76 or scatt to treat for mites. Also provide a daily bath for him

    I just got my first canary and am wondering how many feathers is it “normal” for them during non-moulting time? Each day she seems to lose 10 or so of her small fluffy feathers.

    • @birdnerd
      @birdnerd  Před 3 lety

      She may be beginning to molt if she is losing that many feathers a day

    Sir, do you have a plan for daily food that you offer to your canaries? I am new in this and I am confused about what I should provide to my pair besides the regular seed mix.

    • @Samrx60
      @Samrx60 Před 2 lety

      In addition to its seed mix, I usually alternate giving my canary a boiled egg (especially the white, which makes a good source of calcium), a small piece of peeled banana, lettuce, cucumber, or apple. Canaries love them!

    Chris, I bought a canary same colour as yours just 3 weeks ago. He doesn't sing as often as the others on balconies here in Izmir....about 3 times a day. He's healthy not losing feathers, eating well, lively etc, not melting. He's only tweeting and sqwarking. He used to respond well to others singing on CZcams but not now.....and am puzzled 🤔

    • @birdnerd
      @birdnerd  Před 4 lety +1

      He could be possibly starting to molt that may make it so he doesn’t sing as much.

I'm Not seeing much for feathers. He is not flying like He was. He is singing a bit. If this is a molting, it's the worse one, He seems So Weak. He is eating, and drinkimg I think He may have had a bath tonight, He used too have one, every day. I bought Special food. I moved all his perches down, water down, food down.too help him Please Help with Advice

      Sounds like your bird is sick. They should be able to still fly if they are molting. Give him a place in the cage to receive heat. He may need some vet advice for a specific medications.

    Is the term "gouldian" used for canaries? I thought it's just for finches.
    Also, notwithstanding external factors (too much noise, too much/little light, too high a temperature), isn't canary-molting mainly regulated by "internal clock"?
