Canary Sounds APK

So you want to buy a canary, but never had one before! You know they sing, but you've never heard one singing. Many people pick out their first canary by just looking at it. Some of these birds never sing, others make noises that the owner thinks is singing. So how do you make sure you get a real, singing canary? Here are some facts about canaries to keep in mind. Only male canaries sing, but males and females look alike. Only adult males (over 6 months in age) really sing, but there is no external difference from a young bird that is 4 weeks old just out of the nest and an old bird. Both male and female young (less than 6 months) might sing, but it is a softer "baby song," not the final song it will develop. If you buy a young canary, there is a chance you will end up with a hen that will soon stop singing even the baby song. If the bird is a male, it will get louder and could become harsh and irritating to listen to, especially in the spring during mating season. Finally, canaries don't sing while molting (replacing feathers) which usually occurs during the summer and can take a couple of months. To avoid getting stuck with a non-singing bird or one that has an annoying song, listen to the bird before you buy or adopt! If the bird doesn't sing while you are visiting, come back again at another time, preferably early morning. There will always be another canary available someday, so don't get pressured into getting a bird that won't sing for you if you really want a good song bird. A healthy song canary should sing on and off for much of the day when not molting, so if you visit for an hour during the daytime and the bird never sings, that tells you it is not a free singer even if the seller insists it is a mature male with a good song. The first thing to recognize is the difference between song and other noises that all canaries make, such as calls and chirps. A song lasts more than a second, the longer the better. Some canaries sing a very short song, but a one or two second trill is so poor that if that is all you hear, treat it as a non-song. Even baby song will usually consist of at least a few seconds of continuous sound. Baby song and the occasional song that a mature hen might sing are short songs with little range. Dynamic range is the difference between the high and low notes. Baby song is a mumbly babble, while the mature male song should be a clear sequence of undulating notes. One way for the novice to distinguish these songs is to look at the bird's throat while it sings. It should be puffed out more than when it is not singing. The mouth may be open or closed while singing, it depends on the breed and type of song. Open beak songs are louder, some birds do both.
