Try to hear the song of a young Canary, so how vocal is the main sexual difference. However, it is necessary to wait, when the chick will be more than six months. In the 4 months these birds ends juvenile molt, and they gain strength. The kids (both males and females) can produce a timid trill, because to accurately determine their sex is extremely difficult. In addition, some males start to sing in full voice only to the year.

Watch grown-up birds. Kenar had always shown more interest in singing, every time "plays music" louder and diversifies the repertoire. Note how at the same time greatly inflates his throat. In rare cases, to master singing may be a hen, but her vocal chords did not differ beauty and richness. The neck of the female is not inflated; a more familiar sound to it – the beeping, whistling and cooing.

Try to distinguish a Canary from Canary females by their appearance. Usually the tail of the "girls" a little shorter. Carefully turn the bird belly-up and blow on the feathers in the lower part of the abdomen. Female birds have a cloaca looks flat; the "boys" it is convex, has the form of a small cylinder. If you hold a under the tail of the Cockerel, he will actively resist; hen "shamefully" he tucks his legs. However, the described method of determining the sex of a Canary is not 100% guarantee.

If you define Canary will help fine song, the Canary-a female – her first egg. In the second half of March, prepare the breeding tank, or watch the birds from a breeder. Birds (among which presumably have a pair) should be free to fly around the room or in the aviary. An important condition for the normal "marriage" - the age of birds from 11-18 months to 4 years old and in good health.

Before the start of the breeding season you will see that the behavior of Pets has changed dramatically – they start to become anxious, swiftly chasing each other. If a couple is formed, the male begins to feed the girlfriend, and she will obediently to reveal a beak. "Bride" sounds of the call and often crouches on the perch.

After a successful wedding, the future mother hen will definitely show itself – it begins to collect material for the nest and sit down; her abdomen appears bald with pronounced blood vessels nasilnoe spot. Finally, after about a week you can find in the cage the first egg.
Note
During the mating period are frequent fights among songbirds males figure out their relationship, and without the assistance of keyroid weaker individual may even die. But pugnacity is not always a sign of a Cockerel. Canaries of different sex may quarrel just because "not get along". Have failed to separate the pair.
