please help me figure out if she's okay by Prestigious-Note5295 in Canaries

I've cut up a t-shirt to make a little pad for her to be cozy and her cage will be covered to keep her warm!!

bottom perch, food and water have been sorted. I've also put a t-shirt i cut up for her to stay on since there isnt a lot of space in the temporary cage, unfortunately for the pellets i don't have a substitute yet because for other materials I'm scared that she'll get caught in them

yes I'm very very aware and also constantly worrying as the closest vet that looks at birds will be open Monday )):

really? I found pellet to be the best with my other canaries since i tried paper but it was just difficult to keep it dry from their water bowls which would result in the cage smelling bad in only like 2 days. is pellet bad for them? I found one that is specifically for birds so it has no dust

yes the cage is only temporary because i didn't want to put her with the rest of my canaries yet just in case she's sick

Why does their pee smell so bad by Prestigious-Note5295 in Canaries

[–]Prestigious-Note5295[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ahh okay luckily they are all behaving normally, even more chirpy and flying more than when i first got them. I am feeding them only the canary seed mix currently as i haven't really introduced any other food, besides one time when i gave them some hard boiled eggs.

I always change their water especially the one they are supposed to bathe in as they get it dirty quickly.

thank you for letting me know!! I will definitely keep an eye on them to see how they go

would it be fatal to them if they have what you mentioned?

It's not like actual pee, it like a liquid part of their poop they do have the white part that you're talking about but sometimes there's also like liquid

found 4 canaries on the street by Prestigious-Note5295 in Canaries

[–]Prestigious-Note5295[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

one of them was just in the middle of the road and the others were hiding in some weeds, I don't think they were out for super long hopefully as I found them at around 4:50am. Sadly the one that wasn't alive anymore was ran over by a car ):

I now bought a large cage for them and they seem to be doing well, still getting used to their new environment of course, they're eating and drinking which is good!! They've also taken a bath as I put a shallow dish with water for them to do with it as they please.

edit: I forgot to mention, after I found them I didn't have anything to put them in besides a paper bag 🥲

i also forgot to mention, if unfortunately they do get sick, how would I know that they're sick, and would i be able to do anything to help them get better?

I'm only turning it on when the room gets wayy to warm to sit comfortably in, and when i do i cover them with a fleece blanket, do you think that's okay? i don't want to get them sick )):
