Canaries Add Beauty And Song to Your Home
February 7th, 2010 by admin
There’s nothing quite as relaxing, as being blessed with an early morning serenade of song, from the chorus line of finches outside of my bedroom window in early Spring.
It starts as soon as the snow starts to melt, and for some reason, they start warming up around 4am. Not that I’m always up at 4am, but occasionally, I roll over & become startled just enough to catch the beginnings of what promises to be a day filled with inspirational song.
I think you would love a canary of your own, who was always there to sing for you!
Having raised parrots & different types of birds for several years myself, I can speak first hand of the joys of having an avian friend in your home.
Not only are canaries easy to care for, but their beauty is unmatched, both in appearance & song! They come in all shades of white, brown, red, and of course yellow.
Each type of canary has it’s own unique singing style, so it would be best for you to listen to a few different types of birds sing, before you decide which one you would like to call your own.
Beautiful Cages
If you know me at all, you already know how much I love bird cages! There’s just something about them, that is so wonderfully heartwarming to me. I never seem to tire of seeing a beautiful cage. Perhaps it reminds me of the joys of raising birds that my family shared together. In any case, to me…nothing speaks “elegant” more than a beautiful bird cage in your home! And what better use of a beautiful cage, than to be a home for a beautiful singer!
Cost
You can find canaries for $35-$100. The price depends on the area in which you live, as well as the type of canary that you ultimately decide to purchase.
Having a singing canary in your home means… never again will you have to wait for spring to enjoy the joyful songs in your home!
I thought you might enjoy hearing a few different canaries perform. I’m sorry ahead of time, because I know you wont be able to resist after hearing them 
Growing up my mother always had a canary — I had forgotten about them — it would be nice to have a home filled with song.
What a lovely serenade! Thank you!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Not only is the song beautiful so are the birds. I love there color. What a treat to hear them.
We used to have canaries when I was younger. How they sang! Thank you for such a great post. It was very nostalgic for me.

Lovely to see my original artwork “Cage” featured at the top of the post. As a bird artist I find endless inspiration in the various birdsong year round. I agree, my canary is a joy & serenades me daily. But the morning hello song is wonderful to wake up to. I also think it’s really comical to watch him take a bath, but that is a quieter time of day
Cheers,

JoMo,
Yes… I love your work! And… out of all of the canary “things” out on the web… I liked yours the best
They are such lovely, cheerful little creatures, and I’m so glad that God has blessed us with them!
Today… may your heart find cheer from sweet songs and… thank you for cheering us with your beautiful artwork!

My younger sister had a canary when we were growing up. I missed the happy sounds of the bird when I grew up and moved out. Your article brought back happy memories.
Oh, we have fruit trees outside our window and it sounds like we live in a bird sanctuary and I guess we do! Lezlee
With two cats in the house, the birds will have to wait! But I would love to have an antique birdcage somewhere. Thanks for inspiring me!
