 Canary-Waterslager Family - Finch Nick Names - Waterslager Canary, Water Singer, Belgian Waterslager Song Canary, Malinois Canary, Waterslager Song Canary Description - Although not particularly popular in the United States the Waterslager Canary is very popular around the world. Temperament - Waterslager Canaries don't like to be touched. Sexing - It is difficult to determine the sex of the Canaries sometimes. With that said usually female Canaries have 3 evenly lengthed toes, while middle toe of male Canaries is usually longer than the two outside toes. Males also usually have flatter heads, are more colorful, and sing. Femails tend to have rounder heads, are plainer, and chirp. It is not unusual for a family to believe they have a male Canary until they find an egg sitting in their "male canary's" cage. Origin - The Waterslager's original origins are from the wild canaries of the Canary Islands. Trainability - NA. Loudness - NA. Diet: Canaries have very high metabolism. Your canary could starve to death within twenty four hours if your canary doesn't eat. Canaries should eat about half grains and half vegatable with some fruits (about 5%). Never feed any Canary anything with caffiene as an ingredient (like chocolate) and dairy products are a bad idea. Desired Cage size - Your canary needs a relatively large cage because canaries are very active. They love to fly so there should be lots of perches throughout the cage. 20"X20"X26" (length X width X height) Length: about 6 1/2 inchesLife span: 10-14 years
