Young Canary that won’t fly

By Team Beauty of Birds

I purchased a young canary. He eats well, eats his vegetables, bathes, but doesn’t really socialize with the other canaries and won’t fly! I perch him and he seems unstable! he sleeps on the floor of the cage in a corner unless I pick him up and put him on a low placed fleece tent home. was treated for air sac mites just in case, took him to vet who thought he had a respiratory problem was placed on nubalizer and given meds in his water but he’s not triving. I don’t know what else to do.

  1. You can only do so much. …
    You can only do so much. The most important thing is to keep this canary separated from the others; because these conditions are generally contagious. Continue to provide supportive care. Hopefully, his or her immunesystem will kick in and he or she might recover. But be prepared for the worst and hope for the best … Sibylle
