Despite their tiny stature, Fife Canaries have enormous personalities — they are active, cheerful birds with bright, melodious songs that fill a room.

Despite their small size, Fife Canaries are robust. Provide a cage at least 18–24 inches wide. Feed quality canary seed mix supplemented with egg food, fresh vegetables, and fruit in moderation. Change water daily. Offer a shallow bath 2–3 times per week. Keep at 65–75°F away from drafts.
Perfect for Apartments
Their small size makes them ideal for apartment dwellers. Their cheerful song is not loud or intrusive. First-time bird owners consistently find Fife Canaries one of the most rewarding and manageable pet birds available.
