Canary Housing Placement

If you want your canary inside your home, it is better for him to be in a room with some activities, this could be the family room or living room. Places, prone to temperature changes and fumes like the bathroom, the garage or the kitchen are bad idea. The child’s room is also not a great idea because he can be inundated with too much or less activity depending on if the child is at home or at school.

Put the cage on a freestanding and sturdy base or onto a piece of furniture. Also the bird’s cage can be hung with a chain from the ceiling, but be careful not to put it onto a hanging stand, where there is a chance that another pet can topple it . The place the bird cage should be as higher as it is possible because birds are nervous if they’re too low and can’t observe the area for predators.

It is better to place the cage against one wall which gives the bird a measure of security. If the cage is out in the open, you should cover one or more sides of the cage with a solid material such as heavy cloth or wood.

Do not put the bird up against the window because your canary could be frightened as he can not escape from of what he sees as a life-threatening danger. Also too much sunlight can overheat your canary. If the area around the window is drafty in the wintertime your bird can become too cold. Also you should avoid the risk that someone sees your bird through the window and steals him.

Some people have dedicated a whole room to their birds, usually known as the “bird room” which is normally well equipped with NEPA filters and ventilated. Paint the walls in the bird room with nontoxic, fresh and free from chipping, paints. The windows of the “bird room” should be double screened to be sure that your bird can not get out and that predators can not come in. You can use pine wood chips or tiles for the floor that you can easily sweep up each week when they become soiled.
