I had him in a large cage with my society finches but moved him to his own large cage because the finches had babies. He has lots of toys, a big mirror, swing etc. The problem is he is so loud it hurts our ears. He sounds like an ambulance. But he is very sweet. I have heard that getting a female could help him to quiet down, I am happy to do that if it would help. Any suggestions?

I doubt that a girl will tone him down. It might encourage him to show off even more.

Put an ad on craigslist or some other site with a really low price or as a trade for another canary and he will be rehomed in no time.

I could rehome him or give him to someone I know who has an aviary it's just that when he is quiet he is really sweet and attentive and good with the other birds. Just wish I could quiet him down somehow

I will try and repost later He's very pretty

I hope this works now. Thanks for the suggestions on uploading. I think we are getting used to his singing, but hopefully it settles down a bit. I am curious to know what kind of bird he is.

The hens have a necklace of brown dots.

To post pics here I usually have to reduce the size first. On my MAC you can adjust the size under "tools". Then move the smaller size saved pic to the desk top before attaching it with the "Browse" button. . Once attached you need to use the "add file" button. You can then choose to add the pic in line or at the end of your post if you want.

I had to sell him because I got migraines from the singing and I had another male (more soft singing) and only one female. He sounded a lot like this https://youtu.be/3LJmCGBoG1s on the highest volume ha had a lot of the flute sounds (=car alarm).

My parisian frill I have now can sing really loud an a lot but it's a much more soft and pleasant song.
