I clicked cause I loved dragons too. 
Now if I could just find some miniture flying dragons that would not burn their aviary down I would try breeding them too.
OOPS enough of the fantasys.
Work your way around the forum, their are quite a number of pics that will give you ideas.
I use a mixture of breeding cages from wire front boxes to the traditional "bird cage" as long as they are reasonably spacious and well protected. If the birds are not happy and showing signs of breeding within a month, just try a different, mate, nest, cage, until you get the right combination. And depending on the type of canary you have a little careful vent area trimming may help with fertility. My Gloster canarys are very densly feathered and I find this helps.

hi regalado95
I have a double bank of 10 for my zebra finches. I have made them deep front to back instead of wide left to right. Hope that makes sense ;) This means that when you are around the birds they are not spooked. It seems to work, I have all but one pair down at the moment
