Does anyone know if canaries destroy plants?
I want a songbird, a canary, but my aviary is planted and I don't want it destroyed.
When I made the transition from budgies to finches a while ago, I put in plants. None of the finches are interested in destroying them, and I don't want that to change.
Canaries and plants?

Canaries in my opinion are the biggest destroyer of woody plants you can get.
They will eventually kill a tree if it is the only one around by simply eating the new buds.
The result is no leaves and just a dead stick.
If you have a lot of trees and maybe some sort of native shrub it may be OK

Darn, okay.
They are much larger and stronger looking than a finch (relatively speaking) so that makes sense.
