What Are Fake Canary Eggs Used For?
Fake Canary Eggs are used to replace the real eggs in a canary nest while the canary is laying a new clutch. When the first egg is laid, carefully with a spoon, remove the egg and put it in a safe place, a small box or bowl lined with tissue or cotton. (a plastic spoon is thinner and easier to get under the egg without breaking it) Put a fake egg in the nest.

The thought of this makes a lot of people hyperventilate because they’re usually faced with three choices.
Find someone to do it professionally. Take your bird to the vet which may incur a large bill for blood workup or a wellness check, or three, doing it yourself.

4 Bird Keeping Clean Ideas
We’re going to get started by talking about one of our favorite product lines Lixit. Do you really need a water bottle? Birds being the messy creatures that they are will poop in their water dishes regardless of placement.
This means the stray food, the poop, and other contaminants which carry bacteria get ingested by your bird. One of the easiest ways to overcome these problems is to install a Lixit water bottle in your birdcage.

Two New Birds
Kriselle and I had chatted on the phone a month ago.
She shared her plans to bring two baby birds into her home.
She was taking a year off from work and felt it would give her the opportunity to make the right home for the birds.
I’ll make a note here that I recommend she start leaving the house about 3 months before returning to work starting with shorter periods but ramping up to full 8 – 10 hour days to help the birds adjust to a “prolonged absence”

At the end-of-the-day, much of the bird cage information you read boils down to just that, opinion. Am I starting to ruffle some feathers – good? The reality is, a reality we’ve built after selling a bird cage to thousands of pet bird owners.
