Male & female Canary together for Breeding?

Please advice that, If I keep male canary with female canary together in same cage for breeding purpose. Is male canary will stop singing due to female presence in the same cage ? Presently male singing a lot.

Second, kindly advice me the best way to introduce the female canary in front of male or how i can put female canary in male cage. Right now I kept both birds in different cages in different rooms. Please advice briefly because I'm new in canary mating matters, thank you in advance, SALIM

    keep the birds in seperate cages but place them in the same room away from each other for a couple of days, but so they can hear eachother. then put the cages next to eachother for a couple of days until you think they are ready to be in the same cage. make sure you put the male into the females cage as in mating she should be the dominant one in her own territory. the male will then stop singing when he has bonded with her and you should then put nesting material and a nest into the cage and let them get on with nature. i keep my birds all together in an avairy because i dont want my canaries to breed i only breed my cockatiels and zebra finches

    Putting a female in the cage won't stop the male singing and canaires should always be keep with at least one other. Just because you have a male and female doesn't mean they will breed. I have had a pair of canaires in my avairy for a few years and they have never bother to breed. You can introduce the female straight away as long as the cage is bigger enough for two.
