What do you need to know? Food? Breeding? etc.? Also, what type canary is that one, as I can't tell from the pic. Congrats on the new bird though! and Welcome!

Welcome! Well they need a good canary diet to start. In addition you should offer:

Fresh greens
smashed hardboiled eggs
cuttlebone
and fresh chopped fruits and veggies for a healthy diet..

If you are planning of breeding they need around 14 hours of light and a bowl nest nad some material to work with.

Your guy is pretty, we would need more picture to identify his color.

Canaries are great singer and are very rewarding, I would keep him. Also what breed is he? And what gneder? Only males sing.

He is very pretty, maybe a blue? (they have greyish feathers) He will probaly sing louder than your goldfinches, and for 20$ you cannot beat it! My canary could be heard across the entire house.

Do you plan on breeding him?

How long have you had him? Give him a couple weeks to settle in until he sings

also he won't sing if he is with other canaries

No problem!

How long have you had goldfinches? Can you post a picture of them?? Usually people have canaries before thye get goldfinches.

i have 5 or 6 years keeping goldfinches..i like them more than other finches.here in albania they are more common finches than any other
i have a 3 years old male .. i had also the female but it is gone cuz my father let her fly out of cage and she went out from the window

( the male singed more when he was with her
