  Pet canaries enjoy a variety of bird toys and accessories. However, it is the pet owners' responsibility to ensure they are not only entertained but provided with the essential supplies for a safe and happy environment. Bird supplies for a pet canary may include a stainless steel bowl, birdcage, cage liners, concrete perches and birdfeed.
  
  

Stainless Steel Bowl

  Canaries should have stainless steel food and water bowls as they are less likely to breed bacteria. Plastic bowls, on the other hand, scratch easily and may give rise to unhealthy bacteria.
  
  

Birdcage

• Round birdcages do not have as much room as square or rectangular cages.bird cage image by Photosani from Fotolia.com
  
  A birdcage provides your canary with a place to eat, fly and rest. Since a canary requires a lot of room for flying, it is best to buy a large square or rectangular cage which offers more room than a round cage.
  
  

Cage Liners

• Newspapers can serve as inexpensive cage liners.newspaper image by Christopher Hall from Fotolia.com
  
  Newspapers and paper towels make wonderful cage liners as they are inexpensive, require little maintenance and provide canaries with a clean place for their droppings.
  
  

Concrete Perches

• Perches give canaries a place to rest their feet.bird on a perch image by WITTY from Fotolia.com
  
  Concrete perches provide canaries with a place to rest their feet. Canaries should be given new perches every couple of months as they can develop painful foot disorders from repeatedly resting on the same perch.
  
  

Birdfeed

• Birdfeed containing fruits and vegetables is essential to a canary's diet.winter bird feeding 4. image by mdb from Fotolia.com
  
  Premixed birdfeed is healthy for canaries as it provides them with the fruits and vegetables they need for their diet. Apples, oranges and bananas are a few examples of a canary's favorite fruits. Just remember to chop the fruit into tiny pieces; larger pieces can cause choking.
