"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Laura and I am here to talk to you about canaries. When you purchase your cage, make sure that it has adequate food and water dishes. You want a dish that is deep enough for your canary to bathe in. Canaries are famous for diving into their water bowls. They love to bathe. With your food dish, make sure you have a covered one with a back on it because canaries are also famous for spitting their food all over your house. They can make quite a mess. When accessorizing your cage, you also need to make sure you've got a cuddle bone for your canary. This is important because it gives them the calcium that they need. It also helps to keep their beak trim down to a good length. If your canary's beak gets too long, they are going to have a very difficult time trying to eat. Another thing that you need to make sure you have is a calcium block. A calcium block provides the same amount of calcium as a cuddle bone. It also helps to take care of the canary's teeth. With these two, you should have no problem with your canary's beak. Another important accessory for your bird cage is this 8 in 1 bird protector. It helps keep lice and mites away from your birds. It does this my admitting an odor that kills them which makes them not go near the cage. "
