Yess, it's often the fingers they are afraid of 😄

So.. you removed your fingers??

Update: today he ate some seads out of my hand for the first time. He does it over and over now, lol. Never hoped of that but it worked!

@@musicalcubes1462 aww that's amazing! 💛

@@ayoubboufous I put strawberries mixed with greens broccoli so they could see that my fingers are food XD

Aww that's so sweet! 🥰 Captain Birb doesn't like fingers a lot either, but Sicko loves them 😂

congrats :) I'm trying with two

How long

@@alixldn how did it go

@@idirgh505 It took about 1 year.

I loved reading this so much! 🥰 it really shows the amount of love you have for your sweet and also very lucky canary 💛 and it's also the best life ever, doing what they please and searching for contact if they want to 🥰 the smallest creatures have the biggest personalities 💛

​@@LemonBirbs bro today my little canary was flying around the house and then something happened and suddenly I see my canary literally sitting with his body on the floor and then I took him to see that both of his legs were absolutely numb and one of them is bleeding, is there a way to help him or is the only way putting him to sleep?😭😭😭

@@user-cm7om6mw2k sounds like you need to go to an avian vet asap! I am not a veterinarian and your birds needs to be seen physically

Awww you have done the best thing you could 💛 he lived a short life, but at least a well fed and loved one. Sometimes rescueing an animal is sadly impossible for us

Broccoli is love, broccoli is life 😂😂

@@LemonBirbs TOTALLY AGREED

That's very true! You really have to build that connection 💛 and they do almost everything for delicious snacks 😂

@@LemonBirbs plz keep it up. May the Lord protect those precious furr balls

Awwwww that's so sweet to hear! 🥰 and I love the name Nugget 💛

@@LemonBirbs your video actually inspired me to let him out the cage I'm glad I did! Hope your little nuggets are doing well! Cool necklace by the way

They really dont like when people grab them. Whenever you do, they lose more and more trust in you.

@@bekiboy4863 I know, but sometimes it's necessary for health checkups to grab the bird.

Thankyouu! 🥰 we are from Holland too! 😄

@@LemonBirbs Dat is leuk...hahaha Je spreekt erg goed Engels moet ik zeggen, maar ik zie echt uit naar nieuwe video's, komen die er nog aan denk je? ---

@@hansem3988 Dankjewel! Er komen zeker nieuwe videos aan 😄 alleen editten neemt naast de studie veel tijd in beslag 😂 maar ze komen zeker!

​@@LemonBirbshahah je accent is Nederlands :)

Aww, thankyou so much 💛

Because there are some canaries that truly do not wish to be closento humans at all, and I don't want people pushing those birds for interactions 💛 Animals need to be able to show what they want to do and not what we want them to do 💛

Can u share u story, I happened to rescue one yesterday

I know 😊💛 but it's even possible to tame canaries that weren't raised by hand 😄 there are a lot of people that have tamed their canaries (with different ages) 💛

Thankyou! And haha yess, that's correct 😂

Yes, respecting their boundaries is a very, very big part of the taming process!

Mine mostly sit in the same places (on their playgrounds, on me, near us) and we have napkins and blankets on those places 😄 very easy to switch out of they poop on there. Also their poops are very easily removable with a wet cloth 😄

I have another video about their diet on this channel 😄 it's the latest one we have uploaded. I clean the poops every evening, very managable with just a wet cloth 😄

Yess absolutely, and age indeed doesn't matter at all! 💛

Thankyou so much! I am from Netherland 😄

@@LemonBirbs thanks for the answer

Dankjewel!

One that's big enough to have at least 3 different sized perches inside and where they can still fly a little too 😄 our cage is 78x47,5x81cm, and they also love a wider cage more than a tall one 💛

Hii, sorry for the very late reply 🙈 I don't know the answer to your question honestly, sorry! 😅

We only open the windows at night when my partner and I both know for sure they are both in their cage (we lock them in their cage when they sleep) and we check every window like 3 times before opening the cage again 😄. And if we want to open the window during the day we communicate and make sure the canaries are inside the cage and locked in (they easily jump in of we bring them to the cage). We also have an extra door between the front door and house and our house rule is that one of the doors must be closed at all times when the other one is being openend, but if we expect visitors we lock the birds inside their cage to prevent possible accidents. We take a lot of precautions 🙈

Istimewa👍

We have bought this one from avonturia.nl. it's called the Fiona bird cage 😄 I think it's also on amazon

Thank you so much 😊

ODER 1 FROM FISH AND FEATHERS I HAVE THE SAME CAGE

Ze heeft het in ieder geval goed getroffen bij jou! 💛 als kanaries gelukkig zijn dan laten ze dit vaak zien door te badderen, poetsen, lekker hun eigen ding te doen, goed te eten en drinken en fluiten (al doen voornamelijk mannetjes dat). Kortom ze zijn dan lekker de hele tijd bezig 😄 Het niet tam willen zijn merk je eigenlijk pas in het proces. Als er vanaf de eerste stap al een langere tijd (ook deze stap kan weken duren) geen positieve veranderingen zijn en dat ze minder comfortabel lijkt, dan zal ze niet tam willen worden. Maar ook dit kan na een lange periode en vertrouwen winnen door niks te doen en alleen de dagelijkse verzorging, verbeteren waardoor het ooit wel mogelijk zal zijn 😄

It will be different as your bird can't leave it's safe space and therefore you need to enter it's safe space (which is not advicable) 😊 Do you live there permanently or temporary? Otherwise I would try to keep most of the contact outside of the cage 😊 Also never push your bird to sit on you or have contact with you if it doesn't want that, that only works the wrong way

Hii! Is it bad attitude, or are you maybe not seeing his boundaries and crossing them? I have different social media platforms of lemon.birbs, the links are in the description below the video 😄

Hii yes ofcourse! You can either ask your question here or via a dm on Facebook or Instagram (those are linked in the description of the video), whatever you prefer 😄

This could be various things like being bored or having too much energy or something else. How big is their cage and do you give them enrichment?

@Lemon Birbs well we just got her and we will try to get her out of their cage more

Messy for sure! 😂

The steps that I mention in this video is a good start for this 😄 hopefully he has adapted to his one legged life 💛

Woah, that's a lot of questions buddu, I may not have canarirs yet but I think I can help you with some of your questions, is that Ok ? 1) Is he gonna be loud in the morning?: YES yes he will most likely be, and not just in the morning, if you have other birds he will likely even try to mimic their dounds in his song. 2)Could you sleep in the same room with him?: It depends, I personally have no issue sleeping in the same room as my birds but some people may have allergies to the dust that bird feathers produce. 3)How big should his cage be?: Although a finch or budgie flight cage is the best option I would say that a breeding cage(around 60 cm in length) can still be a great option if he doesn'r spend too much time in the cage. 4)should the cage be long or tall?: Preferably both, birds like to fly horisontaly but they still need some height to feel comfortable. Depending on how much time he spends out of his cage you may even be able to get away with a cage that is taller than is long. 5)Is dust dangerous to canaries?: Birds have a very fragile resperatory system, and canaries are no exception,dust particles in the air can cause resperatoty infections and other health related problems. 6)Will he need to have his nails cut?: Almost all birds will have to get their naild trimmed every once in a while, however you can slow the need for a nail trim by using natural wood perches, platforms and consrete perches(never sand perches). 7)Can I leave the bird for the weekend and will it be fine?: You will need to have someone come and check on the bird at least once a day if you are gone, they will also be able to do some dasic meintenance such as changing the wather in case the birds taked a nath in the wather dowl, or if you use water bottles change in case it starts leaking. 8)Can I use a differect cage for sleeping?: You probably can but I dont reccoment it, it's better to just move the cage from the window to the place where the birds will be sleeping. Have a great rest of the day buddy !

@@Thebeetlemangr thank you very much

Hiya! Thankyou for taking care of him! I bet his previous owner really appreciates that! 💛 Four days is a very short time for a canary to get fully accustomed to his new life and surroundings, so that may cause him to be even more uncertain of what to do. The goal you want to achieve is definitely possible, but may take a looot of time (days to months to years) depending on the birds character and respecting his boundaries, but possible! And thankyou so much! I do indeed put all my time into them (and have done multiple behavioural studies in my current study) 😂

Thankyou! The cage in the video is 70 x 40 x 80 cm 😄 but I have upgraded the cage last year for one that is 80 x 50 x 110 cm 🥰

@@LemonBirbs wow，lucky birds got you as owner

Aww they know you're not dangerous, but might indeed still be a bit wary just in case 😄 If you want to touch their baby I would wait until it's a fledgling 💛 that way you might be more confident with possibly picking him up 😄

Hii! He sounds great! I think it's great to pair him with a female 😄 People often say they will stop singing once they are paired, but I know a loooot of paired canaries that still sing as much as "normal" 🥰 our female even sings together with our male 💛 I am active on different social media platforms like Facebook (LemonBirbs) and Instagram (@lemon.birbs) 😄 we do not have a website (yet)

I would love to acquire a hand tamed female! Do you know of any needing a home? I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, if you can recommend any like-minded breeders or rescues/fosters. How can I allow them together, without breeding?

Mayne because he just wants to 😄 some birds are very curious 💛

@@LemonBirbs aww cute

Aww thankyou for taking care of him 💛 I think your bird might like to have a companion as well as spending time with you 😄 some canaries can live alone, but if they had companions before and he is looking at his mirror mostly, that is an indication that he might miss another canary to chirp too or to have fun with 😄

Have you visited an avain vet with him?

How is it going now with your canaries? I hope I am not the only one you contacted with this problem. The best thing you can do it find out if there might be something wrong with the youngster and maybe get help from an avian vet. If the mother is not feeding properly then you might need to feed the youngster, depending on its health

@@LemonBirbs He is fine now I have started to handfeed him with Kaytee exact formula. I feed him every 2 to 3 hours as he digest quickly. Thank you for showing your concern.

@@HAMZA-jo3nb glad to hear he is still thriving! Hopefully he grows up to be a strong, healthy birdy

How often are you giving him formula? Try to provide solid food and give less formula 😄 do you have other birds? Maybe set him close so he can see and copy foraging and eating behaviour

@@LemonBirbs After every 2 hours i give him formula. Yes, i also have other canary birds if you remember i have told you this before that his mother is not taking care of him and now she is preparing to breed again in her cage. Is it possible that this baby bird would never eat seeds in his life if i keep feeding him formula?

@@HAMZA-jo3nb is it the same canary you told about 10 days ago? Stating that it was just a few days old then? Can you maybe contact me on our Facebook or Instagram chat and send photos of the juvenile canary? Its best to see the juvenile for me to give adjusted advice. What we do in the rescue centre is provide solid food at all times and handfeed a little less the older the animals get, we make sure they see the older birds so they can copy them and have an example on how to be a bird

@@LemonBirbs Yes its the same bird. Sure, I'll share his pics/video with you on Instagram tomorrow.

Check your Instagram inbox please

It is possible if they have enough space (big cage and lot's of outside the cage time), but they can start fighting for dominance or due to hormones during breeding season.

I don't know as they are rescues and raised by hand since 10 days old 😅 but people have referred to them as waterslagers

Some birds do not want to be close to humans 😅 it also helps to not push the bird and be very patient, but with some birds, being tame won't happen at all

My canaries were tame from the very beginning 😄 I had to raise them by hand when they were only 10 days old (their parents escaped the aviary at their previous owners their house) and they have always seen me as their mother 💛 One of my friends also has a half tame canary (and he started taming him when the canary was already a few years old) and he's now working with him for over a year. But it's so amazing to see the progres 🥰 His canary will now fly onto his head and hopefully soon also on his hands 💛

@@LemonBirbs thanks so much! I’m hoping to get a canary myself :)

@@ukiyo_5306 If you have the time, space and money I would definitely adopt canaries 🥰 they bring sooo much happiness into your life even when they aren't tame 💛

I did not poop train them 😄 a bird trained to poop on command or in a certain place, keeps holding their poop in until they reach that place or get the command. This can cause a prolaps, not to mention how uncomfortable it must be to hold your poop if you need to 😅 canaries poop around every 15 minutes and if they get the right diet, their poops are very easy to wipe away with a wet cloth (doesnt even need to be wet though)

Do you have ig that can follow, I want to consult about my pet canary

You can't stop canaries from nesting. Females will also nest and lay eggs without a male in the house. I have told (in this video or another) that I switch the eggs out for fake ones, so that they don't reproduce.
