How to breed Gloster canary bird
Buy breeding supplies. In addition to the basic inventory you have to have for your bird, you will need a big cage for Canaries to breed, nests for women to lay their eggs, and nesting materials that will be used to build their nests. You might also need light to shine at home if your area gets less than 14 hours of light every day.
Save separate Canaries until the time breed. Unless actively multiply, Canaries must be stored in their own cage. Men tend to fight and a man might kill women if he is not ready to multiply. However, their cages can be stored in the same room.
Pay attention to the signs that Canaries are in the “condition,” or ready to multiply. Breeding usually occurs in spring. Canaries like to multiply when the temperature is around 70 degrees and there are about 14 hours of light. This condition can be replicated indoors, to promote breeding. Canaries male and females act differently when they are ready to multiply.
Place male and female cages near each other, but not at the same cage. Place their enclosure side by side or put both birds in a special breeding cage that has a central divider. It will make birds used with each other and their behavior each other will tell you if they are ready to mate.
Add a nest to the female side of the breeding cage. If you only use big cages instead of breeding cages, just put the nest in a female cage. Once the female starts adding materials to nesting into the nest, it is a sign that she is getting ready to mate.
Feed the right diet. Canaries nest must be fed the right diet consisting of pellet food, grained seeds, soft food, and additional calcium. Since a few weeks before breed until they finish feeding their chicks. Cuttle or grit bones are advised to provide additional calcium needed to produce healthy eggs. These special foods are available through pet supply companies.
