Although they are technically passerines, canaries tend to be managed uniquely, so here is a forum just for them!

That's what I have been using , Anna.
He had it off again today, arrrgh!
I think the next choice will be duct tape and a size '12' Army Boot, lol.
This guy is unreal, at how quickly he gets whatever I put on him off.

Ooh, what a stinker!
I prefer vet wrap. It sticks to itself and it doesn't use a traditional adhesive, so it doesn't loosen when wet.
Once it's stuck to itself it's impossible to unstick. (Which means you need to use manicure scissors to get it off.)
Unless he's biting through the tape, in which case you'll need to make him a kevlar bootie!!

I've just about given up on this project

. He takes the tape off almost as quickly as I can put it on. And now it's getting harder and harder to catch him, because he knows what I'm up to.
Aarrgghh!
Will just have to try different tape.

Have you tried bitter apple spray?
That stuff works great for bandages. (And other things, like electrical cords, and fake foliage that I want to Abby-proof!)

Don't give up

Here is a link that describes how to fix it, maybe it will help along with the picture from the previous link (I like things described in writing)

Thanks Mia.
Silly me. I'm always one to suggest bitter Apple spray, and never thought of it in this case, lol.

Thanks Anna.
I will try again with this little rascal. Pkus with Mia's suggestion (now why didn't I think of it

) of a drop of Bitter Apple, it might just work.
