Books and articles recommend that a pet canary be kept in a cage that is at least 24 inches wide. However, it is not important how tall or deep the cage is. Canaries benefit from flying back and forth, not up and down. This size is needed so the bird can fly for exercise without risking the dangers of being allowed loose in the house. However, the pet industry offers mostly smaller cages. This site offers links to companies that sell cages that are of adequate size to ensure the health and safety of your musical pet.
