Ambition to breed
Would you like to find out more about breeding canaries?
In order to breed, canaries need a nest box for canaries and nesting material. If the canaries are used to each other, the female will build a nest and then lay three to five eggs. After a brooding period of about two weeks, the eggs will hatch. They will leave the nest after just six weeks and a few weeks later they will become independent.
