Bad thing about two females, if they both come in to season at the same time, the Cock will be walking out the door with his pack on his back saying "stuff this im off"

in a cage maybe that may be true with cocks, but like every spieces there are fights at times, i have 30 Zebra finches and sometimes there is a small argument at bed time, but they all get on, if you had a medium size aviary to house canaries, then you wouldnt get much hassle with what ever amount of canaries you have in there really

just shows what you learn on here, have only ever had budgies a cockateil and a canary but not together in there own cages. Although the budgie and cockateil would come out together and the budgie use to ride the cocateils back across the floor whilst the cockateil would sing half a pound of tupenny rice. {very funny}.

Canaries are lovely we had a roller and my god they sing. Although females dont as far as i know. The borders are nice what do you have. Have fun with your new pets

Give him time to adjust, all the finches i have got get abit funny when a new one arrives, but go back to normal,im guessing its the same with most birds

It could be that he is a she or because he has been alone for a ong period of time
