F canary with M Gouldian?
I can only have two birds, and I have a canary hen. I don't want any breeding, so would it be ok to put a male goulian with her? I don't want a male canary, they are too loud for me.

Hi there,
I don't know if Gouldians can hybridise with canaries (be aware Canaries have been used to cross with a lot of different birds) but it may not stop them trying. Your female canary will still be able to nest and lay eggs, even if they aren't fertile, and thus runs the risk of getting egg bound. Some birds may get on, some won't - even of the same species. I guess you'd just need to see
Good luck

Hello, and welcome to the Forum from Canada.
Gouldians and Canaries, will not hybridize, and will be fine together.
They will not cuddle or snuggle together like some species, but they can co-exist quite peacefully together.
I have kept some of my Canaries and my Gouldians together for years, without any issues whatsoever.
Let us know how it goes, and post some pictures of your birdies (we would love to see them).
Good luck,
