Keep in mind that your perception of loud is likely a combination of your good hearing plus the room acoustics that he's in. Another person in a different setting may find that desirable.
I had a waterslager that had a pleasant but very soft, low pitched song. Too quiet for my liking. I sold him and got a Spanish timbrado whose much louder, more exuberant singing appeals more to me.

I agree. I had a Green Singer/canary hybrid, and he was VERY loud. However, his song was so incredibly beautiful that I loved it (plus my hearing is going with age). Others may not have found it pleasant at all.

Good points Sally and Paul. I will see how it goes
We're either of you able to see his picture I tried to repost yesterday.
I suspect he's a green singer/canary hybrid from what I can tell.

Vera,
This is definately not a Green Singer. He would probably be best placed in a large outdoor aviary where he can fill the garden with his songs every day.

So I had two opportunities to rehome my loud canary, a pet store that had a lovely large aviary where he could live, and a home that was looking for a canary. Both times I was ready to take him and just couldnt do it. He is just too darn cute and happy swinging and singing away so he will be staying here for life. And wouldnt you know we are getting used to his singing now too.
Thanks for the input it was very helpful

No wander your bird is loud,

When you said a green singer finch, I thought well as much as they are a lovely singer I definitely wouldn't rate them as being loud :roll:

Your bird is a non colour fed new colour canary, theses birds have some serious power to there voices as after all they are related to the German Herts mountain roller canaries,

The only other powerful songsters of the bird world are softbills IE nightingale, black caps, robin chats, bower birds, bell birds and thrushes, along with a few others etc :mrgreen:

Oh thank you so much! I have been trying to look at pictures and figure out what kind of bird he was - that is so helpful.
