Raising fifes is a lot of fun. Feeding a good seed diet that's not too rich. Without all the fats that some brands come with. I include a daily mix of greens such as dandelion leaves and flower, broccoli, variety of different kale, mealworms, boiled egg, and fruit. I grow fresh kale. I give them twigs to hop around on. They love to peel bark off birch twigs. Try to keep their minds busy. Get a bath couple times a week. More in summer and during molt. They also enjoy playing with things from nature. Dandelion seeds, long leaves. Stuff that's fun to rip apart or carry around. I spray cage, birds and bird room with a avian safe insect repellant. First two weeks bugs were cleaned up daily. Now not a single bug, fly, ant. Nothing! Bugs were hiding in the walls and cracks. So far no sign.

Among canaries' breeds they are one of the easiest to keep and breed, and in my opinion, one of the prettiest to!

They have a wonderfully curious personality. Timid but still nosy enough to peek at what's going on.
