Canary Mating

The canary nests as a pair. The pair both work together to protect their territorial regions from other birds and predators. Nests are usually created by canary pairs 1-5 meters above ground within either bushes or trees. The canary pair will strategically build the nest away from predators, using the camouflage of the leaves to surround the nest. Nests are composed of twigs, grass and moss that can easily be picked up by the canary pair.

Canary eggs are usually produced naturally between the months of January and July within their native habitats in the Canary Islands. This is because that is when the summer seasons are in the Canary Islands.

Canary Eggs

The eggs are usually pale, with a blue or green tinge and red markings at the end. Each hatchling contains about 3-5 eggs, leading to about 3 canary broods being raised every year. Eggs are incubated for 13-15 days.
