Canaries
Elite Procurement Fee: $100
BEST FOR:
Crazy-busy first-time pet bird parents who aren’t looking for a talking bird but are happy to listen to their canary sing as they do other things. Smaller in size and relatively quiet; suitable for apartment-dwellers.
Beautiful, good-natured songsters, canaries require low-key TLC; they’re for looking at and listening to. They typically don’t like to be handled, but they’ll appreciate living in the same room where you spend time. Canaries are curious and will investigate anything new in their environment, but they won’t hang out with you. Males sing operatically while females have a gentle chirp.
