Canaries are great little birds we are all familiar with the beautiful song of the canary, most of us will be aware of the vital role canaries played in the safety of miners before the invention of the Davy Lamp. For those that did not know a canary was a miner's best friend, here's the story: Back in the day every miner would take a little canary in a small hand-held cage down into the mine with him every day, the miner would keep it very close, checking up on his little bird regularly. This is because canaries are very sensitive to the dangerous gases which lurk in coal mines. If the miner noticed that his canary was fading or even dead this was a sure sign that the gas levels in the mine were dangerously high and everyone should evacuate the mine. These lovely little birds saved many miners lives until the more modern invention of the Davy Lamp was invented therefore saving many of the little birds lives.
Fortunately for us and the canaries they are now kept only as pets, so do make sure you have the best selection of canary seed mix so that your birds stay fit and healthy, all this can easily be obtained with no fuss or bother from our canary seed suppliers. Also remember canaries like to have at least another bird for company so you will need to search for ourcanary cages for sale to find a cage large enough to house at least two birds but preferably more, if you are unsure browse our books on canary care.
