there were the male and female canaries and three out of the five eggs hatched. they hatched on saturday and died on monday. are there signs the birds will show if they have and parasites. this is the first time i have had canaries or any type of bird so i am new at this and would like to get as much information as i can.
they’re making some noise now but they don’t move a whole lot or play with the toys i gave them. i put in a nesting box but they don’t go in it. this is my first time with parakeets but my family has been raising canaries and some miniature parrots since i was 5, so i’m not a beginner with birds. i don’t buy birds at pet stores so these were from a breeder. she said they’d had babies before and that the female would probably lay eggs soon. they’re better than they were a few days ago but i’m still wondering, am i doing something wrong?
1 witch will sell better Canaries or finches
2 how big does the entry of the nest box have to be
3 can i use a bird house and do i even need a nest box
4 is 7/8 of an inch good for the entry of the nest box or the bird house
5 any thing else i need to know
i don,t know if i should give them extra food and how full should i fill the feeders and i do give them canary diet foods. i realy can.t tell if they are eating the food all of it that is or am i throwing away food.

I have two Bourke’s parakeets and I want them to lay eggs. I put in a nest box and I am waiting for them to use it. I know that you have to wait and be patient, but while I’m waiting, I think I should get another cage so that they will have their own cage and I will leave the old cage for the canaries (they get along well) I know a lot about birds, just through research (Maybe I’m a bird expert…in some ways – not breeding though) So I want to know how big a cage I should get for about 5-6 birds. I also want them to have enough room to fly when they want to, so what are your suggestions?
I THINK a 5x3x2 cage is good?
