Hi, I'd like to get a singing canary, as I had one as a child, but really don't know much about them. Only males sing, correct? At what age can the average person tell if the birds are males or females- and what do you look for, other than if it sings? If you want singing, are you best to get a single male, or a pair? thanks
Don't know much about canaries but I am sure it is only the males that sing and he should be fine on his own, I think it is difficult to sex Canaries, at about 6 mths the males should be singing so you would know then
Canaries are *amazing* little birds. We've had a few, and I hope to have some more someday. Yes, only the males sing. I've never bred them, so am unsure of when they start to sing, as I've only purchased adult birds already "sexed" by the breeder. You do not need a pair for your male to sing. Good luck!
