Aviaries and Flight Cages for Multiple Canaries- Find the perfect aviary here

Although male canaries prefer solitude keeping canaries together during the summer months is perfectly acceptable. A large aviary offers your birds extra space for natural flight. This exercise is very important for both males and females but additionally aids in your males’ upper chest development that will foster its best possible song.

While your birds are molting males will not be nearly as aggressive towards each other. This molt occurs shortly after the breeding season ends mid to late spring and lasts about 2 months.

Young and old males can successfully be kept together in aviaries until they begin to come into show condition and start singing their full song. Of course, remove any male that is very aggressive towards the other birds. Also, remove any birds from your flight, male or female, that are plucking other birds.

Do You Want Indoor or Outdoor Flight Cages?

Indoor flight cages can be as small or as large as your space allows. Indoors affords you full control of the environment including lighting, temperature and better control of any pests or parasites like mosquitoes and mites.

Surprisingly though canaries can adapt to outdoor life even in harsher climates. I do know people who keep their canaries in outside aviaries attached to heated sheds year round in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

For the handyman or woman I located a terrific book called “How to Build Everything You Need For Your Birds: From Aviaries….To Nestboxes” by Don LaRosa. This wonderful book is comprehensively written and professionally illustrated for both novice and experienced breeders and has both indoor and outdoor custom aviary designs. It’s available in paperback or as an E-book.

I am considering a plan from Mr. Don LaRosa’s book. But for now I have 2 large indoor flight cages from the Bird and Cage.com. They are pictured below stacked and are 58”Wx18”Dx33”H, Model# 2580. They easily house 20-30 canaries each and have plenty of room for perches and toys.

Doctor’s Foster and Smith also offer some very nice indoor flight cages. The F030 model is a sizable Flight Cage at 43.5”x32”x68” and is a handsome house shaped design.

If you are breeding or plan to breed please consider which aviary will be right for you and your birds.
