Asked by Wiki User

Canaries like moderate temperatures. Room temperature is fine. They can handle cold temperatures as well, as long as they are not in a draft. I kept my birds on an unheated enclosed porch with great success. I brought them inside for breeding.

Why are the Zebra Finches' perches turning red?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It could possibly be blood- are there reddish brown splotches on the perches? If so, they might have a foot injury. Watch them closely for signs of unusual behavior, and if they appear to be in pain, take them to a vet.

For sanitation purposes, you'll want to wash those perches.

How can you differ between a male and a female baby bird from its physical appearance?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

My parents are bird owners and I've helped raise babies for a few years and honestly The only way to know a male from a female is if u get a DNA test. Sometimes males will be more colorful, and bigger but that doesn't mean its always going to be a male bird.

To DNA test a bird all u do is trim their toe nail a lil bit shorter and get it to bleed a tiny bit and u put a drop of blood on the DNA test card and mail it in.

Paper is by far the easiest. Sand is a nightmare to clean out on a regular basis. I bought my last cage from Everything Birds and they sold me cage liners that fit my specific cage. I think their store is at www.bird-cage.com. All the best! JOHN
