The Fife Fancy Canary is a “type canary”, bred for physical characteristics rather than color or song. They are a newer canary variety, developed in the 1950’s by Scottish breeders in and around the area of Fife. It is a smaller version of the Border Canary. With the emphasis on developing the Border into a larger bird, dedicated Scots devoted their efforts to bring back the original standard of the Border. Thus the Fife Fancy Canary came into being, capturing the hearts of people around the world.

Care and feeding of Fife canaries for sale

The canaries like wide open spaces so provide a roomy cage. Provide a cage with vertical bars and small perches of different sizes for foot exercise. Have at least 1 perch set high in the cage for the canary to roost (sleep). The cage should be placed high, so the canary can look down on us so to speak.
The canaries eat mainly canary seed and rapeseed. Vitamin coated canary seed mixes are readily available at a pet store. Greens are also enjoyed and can be offered daily along with a little calcium in the form of a cuttlebone.
They do like to bath, so should be offered a birdbath. Cage cleaning and toenail trimming is about all the maintenance canaries need.

Social Behaviors

They are good-natured social creatures that do well when kept in cages or in aviaries. They are timid birds though and should not be housed with parakeets, lovebirds, or other hookbills that tend to be more aggressive birds by nature.
Male canaries should be kept in a cage by themselves to ensure quality singing. Males can be territorial and pairing up with two male canaries in a cage can cause fights. In a spacious aviary, canaries can generally be housed with other canaries, finches, and other hardbills.
