can i keep finches and canaries in the same aviary

[Shane Gowland]

Yes, just make sure you have enough space.

I have for many years. Some canary/finch combinations work better than others though. So which finches did you have in mind?

A few things to think about, canary cocks can become very aggressive at the beginning of and during the breeding season. It's not a good idea to have canaries with gouldians as canaries are prone airsac mites and will pass them on to them and other finches.
For some reason canaries seem to attract mosquitoes which bite their legs and feet but also bite other birds with them in the aviary at night.
Canaries are very inquisitive and will poke around finch nests and even pull them to bits
If you have greenery/plants growing in the aviary canaries will destroy it very quickly. Imo keep them in an aviary on their own. Craig

A good general rule, particularly if breeding results are your priority, is to not mix different bird types . . at all


Many disagree, and beginners want to experience as many bird types as they can, with limited accommodation . . human nature at work, and very understandable

Sooner or later, serious breeders realise the wisdom of that general rule

As pointed out by previous posters . . different species have different needs





There is a significant difference between 'Can I?' and 'Should I?'
