New here! Just got my first canary

Welcome!! Looking forward to hearing more about your feathered friend. Don't be shy about asking questions!

Hey everyone! I'm from the Danforth and I just brought home my first bird ever — a canary named Tango. I'm equal parts excited and terrified. Been reading everything I can find online but there's so much conflicting info. Any beginner tips from experienced owners would be amazing! Looking forward to being part of this community.

One thing that really helped was switching to stainless steel water bowls and changing water twice daily. Give it a try — can't hurt!

There's a great little shop in Leslieville that specializes in parrot supplies. Way better selection than the big chains.

For this I'd highly recommend Roudybush. My canary loves it and my vet approved it too.

Been thinking about this thread all week. I've tried a few of the suggestions and removing mirrors from the cage — can cause hormonal or aggressive behavior was the game changer for us.
