If you plan on breeding canary birds for sale and want to build your own cages you will also need cage fronts and cage trays, one of each for each cage created. Wood glue is used to hold the pieces together in addition to screws, and metal strips and some non toxic paint will finish off the construction of the canary breeding cages. Next you will need food and water dishes for each cage, and the dowels are placed in the cage to create perches for the canaries to stand on. The entire project may only take a few hours from start to finish, and you can even add embellishments and decorations for decorative bird cages instead of simple breeding boxes.
There are many resources available online that show how to construct canary breeding cages from scratch. You will find blueprints, diagrams, materials and tools lists, and everything else needed to assist you in this project. Breeding these birds can be very rewarding, and does not have to be expensive or extremely difficult. Whether you want to breed the red factor canary species, one of the song species, or another canary type you do not have to spend a fortune on the breeding equipment and cages needed when you build it yourself.
