I've always had a soft spot for small birds. Chickens are beautiful and funny to cuddle, but having a canary would absolutely rule!
I see many of them in small, bare cages, and would make an attempt to give the bird a more interesting environment to live in.
That would certainly be cool! I've heard of raising chicks in a more natural environment other than pine shavings...I've yet to try it though. Lol.
I've heard you can teach canaries tricks and stuff, is that true?
