Yes, you can let a canary out of its cage, but you must prepare a safe, enclosed space first and provide supervision. Bird-proof the room by closing windows and doors, turning off fans, and covering or removing mirrors. Start with short periods, and be patient if your canary is hesitant to come out, but you can encourage them with a perch outside the door or by luring them out with food later. Before you let the canary out Bird-proof the room: Close all windows and doors, turn off any fans, and cover or remove mirrors to prevent the bird from flying into them or getting hurt. Remove other pets: Keep other pets like cats or dogs away from the room. Choose a safe room: Avoid the kitchen or bathroom, which may have potential hazards like large bowls of water or cooking fumes. Set a sign on the door: Put a sign on the door so other people know to be careful when entering or leaving the room. Encouraging your canary to come out Start gradually: Begin with short periods, about an hour at first, and get your bird used to the idea. Be patient: Your canary may be hesitant to leave the cage, as it has always been a safe place. Use a perch: Place a perch just outside the cage door to encourage them to step out. Offer a treat: Place a favorite treat inside the cage to entice them to come back after they have flown around. Use a mirror: Some canaries may be attracted to their reflection and will follow a mirror you move toward the cage door. During out-of-cage time Supervise: Stay in the room with your canary while they are out. Be quiet: Avoid sudden movements that could scare the bird. Be gentle: If you need to catch your canary, use a bird net and move slowly. Don't chase: If the canary gets scared, dimming the lights may help them calm down.
