A good cage for a single canary will let them fly back and forth many times. Get one that is at least 16 inches (41 cm) tall and 30 inches (76 cm) wide with bars that are 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) apart. It should also be wide and long, rather than tall, to give the bird room to fly.  Do not buy a round or ornamental cage. These do not provide enough space for the canary to fly properly. Pick a metal cage made out of iron or powder-coated steel. Find a room that is frequently occupied so that your canary does not get lonely. Set the cage against the wall or in a corner away from any windows, doors, air vents, direct sunlight, or drafts.  A living or family room, home office, or dining room may be good places. Do not put the cage in the kitchen. Do not use any sprays, air fresheners, furniture polish, scented candles, cigarettes, or other fragrances in the same room as the cage. Do not place the cage on the ground. It should be at least eye level. Newspaper lining will help you clean up bird droppings easily, and cob bedding works well too. Replace the newspaper or bedding every day so that the cage does not become too dirty. Avoid using cat litter or wood shavings as cage liner. Perches give your canary somewhere to fly and roost. Two perches in their cage will keep them active and happy. Look for perches between 3⁄8 inch (9.5 mm) and 3⁄4 inch (19 mm) in diameter.  Tree branches make for great perches. Place the perches about 16 inches (41 cm) apart in the cage. Place them at opposite ends of the cage to maximize their room to fly. Generally, canaries will need three dishes—one for food, one for water, and one for a bath.  Do not put the dishes under the canary’s perches or else droppings might fall into them.
