SHOW CAGE

The show cage of a Gloster canary is a boxed show cage, with a light green interior. The perches are to be three wires from the drinking hole on each side. You are to have plain canary seed in the bottom of the show cage and mixed canary seed in the food tray. It should be clean and contain no dirt. ( like the picture below)

TRAINING

Show cage traing for my glosters will start when they are about 5 weeks old. I will use a old show cage. I will start handling my bird so it get its confidence, then i will bring my bird into a noisy invoriment (house, kitchen ect) so they get use to noise and the surroundings of every day life. I also have a radio constantly on during the day.
