Stamped Metal Canary ID Foot Bands

Stamped Metal Canary ID Foot Bands

Can I Make A Special Food Beside His Regular Seed With Oaks, Any Cereal, Plus What?

My male canary had a full metal band on after 2 yrs.

The band he kept biting--his foot swelled-- had to take to vet, cut off, and now he's using both feet--holds up a little after 2 days done.---

Would like to buy a bird WITHOUT banded--

Why a metal band??? Bad.

My canary also had a metal leg band. I could not get it off, so took him to a vet. The vet BROKE HIS LEG in removing it, then charged me $700 to put his leg into a splint. It grew back crooked. This is not the first "General pet vet" who has damaged my birds. Be CAREFUL who you take them to.

Canary foods should be good for the health of the canary birds so that they can grow normally with a balanced physical status. The essay writing scholarships for college students about the various bands for the canary foods should be provided by the government.

starstarstarstarstar 		I got the bands off too on my whity NEW
by: Sarah

Whity is naughty love flying circling around the house but all the time I noticed she was biting her foot trying to get the band off as it was tight , last yea I decided to go the vet and get rid of it , now she is more comfy just add more protein n vitamins to your canary's diet though once u got it removed as Whity got little weaker she couldn't stand straight after band was taken off, now she is fine stronger free n happy all the time flying . Band is not comfy as the birds grow bigger no room for their feet that's why they tried to get rid of it by biting it.

starstarstarstarstar 		Stupid Foot Bands On Canaries...and Food
by: Darren

Hi Sandy,

You absolutely positively don't need to have a band for your pet canary.

Bands are used to identify the variety of the canary and the age.

Breeders use them to keep things straight and organized.

But you and me? Nope. Don't need them.

Next time you buy a canary with a band, feel free to have it removed.

Regarding the foods... You can buy and then mix your own seeds if you'd like. It's pretty impractical though and a hassle.

I would recommend buying a mix AND supplementing with dry oatmeal, fresh fruit and veggies, and boiled egg. See...
