How to possibly tame canaries

Welcome back!

Today's video is about how to possibly tame canaries! We made a small guide with a few steps that might win your birds their trust.

Please let us know what you think of our small guide and if you see improvement in your birds trust! Also feel free to leave suggestions for the next video!

ps. because I can't stress this enough, don't remove juvenile birds from their nest to tame them, they need their parents until independent and also remember that not every canary (or any birds) is able to trust humans and become tame towards you.

Our canary didn't want to be tamed for a while. But when we discovered he was just afraid of fingers, we could do a lot more :)

I have taken a found canary on February 13th.
I never thought she'd ever come near my hands, but since yesterday, she started to inspect them.
My scared birdie is now a handtame canary that likes to be with me everywhere.
Canaries are amazing pets.
She's always flying loose.
She has her safe spaces on top of the closets, in the plant bins, on the watercooket, well, anywhere she pleases really.
I don't bother her, she will talk to me, or come to me herself if she wants attention.
Her body language will tell if she appreciates me being closes or not.
Today she even slept close to me when I took a little nap.
My house is a mess, because I took my time to enjoy these moments with her.
The first landing on my arm, jead, first time sirting on me for a while, first time landing on my finger, eating deom my hand.
it was amazing.
it IS amazing.
My scardy birdie has become a sweet companion that loves close contact.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I lost 3 of my original canaries back in December 2022, and before seeing this video I did all of these things without knowing that's how you tamed them. The ones that have passed did have moments when they would randomly hope on me. This helps assure they knew I loved them and that they started to feel the same towards me before they passed.

I couldn't agree more with you, especially about their 'safe space'! And broccoli is the best treat for them for sure! I definitely need to train more with mine, but mommy is lazy🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈 thanks for the video!! Can't wait for more🥰🥰🥰

My yellow Canary named Nugget is such a good boy! The moment I let him out the cage he immediately wanted to land on me but was hesitant. He likes to be close to me he's just a little weary with my hands. When I greet him in the morning he wiggles his butt and starts listening to what I'm saying. Honestly I love my bird and he knows it! thanks for the tips looking forward to seeing more from you 💛

A year ago my grandma canary had 3 babies. I noticed that the mother was ignoring the smallest one and feeding the 2 bigger ones. In the past the mother had done the same thing and the smallest one always died. To prevent this from happening again I took the smallest one to feed. I then placed him back in the nest hoping the mother will just sit on him because I didn’t know how to keep him warm. Once I did that the mother stoped feeding the other 2 and would not sit in her nest. So I ended up taking the other 2 and had the responsibility of taking care of 3 newborn canaries. I did a good job and raised them to be fully feathered canaries. Once they learned how to fly around the house the two older ones would have nothing to do with me but the little one would always fly to my shoulder and just chill with me. I had a plan to go to Florida for a week and had to leave them with my grandma. When I came back the little one had passed and I was very Heartbroken. I felt guilt. My grandma said he just got sick out of nowhere. Maybe the mother canary knew that the youngest was weak and was going to die that why she was focusing on the other 2 but at least I tried and I hoped he lived a great life even if it was short.

It took a long time but I was able to tame my canary with seeds as treats. He doesn't like to be pet but he loves sitting on my arm 😊

They are so precious ♥️ I used to have a pet canary as a kid who was very affectionate

[brianreynolds]

Very valuable tips for owners and future owners like me. Thanks for posting this!

Cutest birds ever. My canary really likes apples, and sometimes when I sit next to her cage, she seems intrigued. When I try to grab her for whatever reason, nail clipping or whatever, she acts like her hour has come. So dramatic! Very cute.

A lovely bird with beautiful owner, im still learning how to keep canary as pet at tropical place. I really love canary bird.

[Empressofthoughts]

Ooooh. You know they look very easy to tame but it's actually more spiritual and emotional. If they really feel that u love them they will become your babies ❤️ I love how u suggested treats too. It's like a small cheat code even if they're mad they will be near u to eat treats lol. Keep it up ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Greetings from Switzerland 😊. I've bern watching my friend's canary this week and discovered that canaries are social if you pay attention and give them space. They enjoy being talked to and love being outside of the cage when it suits them. Your video makes me think I could be happy with a canary again and not a budgie.❤

[zeffrafael]

Omg...this is unbelievable. I have canaries too, from 6 months (they were a gift ) and I love them. In this moment the female has 5 eggs and I gave them everything I could to see they are happy. I am so impatient to see the babies. I talk to them every day and they are not afraid of me at all, but I dont have this kind of relation with them. Maybe because I never let them outside the cage. I am afraid of...well...you know...what ever they left behind. But I would love that kind of connection.

[geobaltas]

So beautiful...i have also canaries too

My rehomed Canary is a little monster. I sing to my canary as well as talk. I suspect that the Canary has been abused by the first owner's dog. Couldn't believe seeing all of those dog hairs. But I'm glad she gave him too me because I give him the care and the environment he needs which is clean and safe for him.
