Canaries are one of those creatures in nature that make you stop and question if they’re gender-confused or not.

They aren’t. Males are typically the ones that sing, while females are typically the quiet ones.

Canaries are beautiful birds, but the males are very loud. Imagine Justin Bieber making a house call, and you’ll want to put your head through a wall.

But, in the same breath, canaries can actually carry a tune.

When you hear a male canary singing, he’s usually doing it along with a tune nearby, such as a radio, or other form of media, natural or otherwise.

If you play a nice, soothing audio track repeatedly, you may be able to convince your canary to join in once it has memorized part of the song.
