How to Train a Canary Bird.

As soon as the young canary is large enough to sit upon a perch in the cage take it in the hand every day, fondle the little thing, feed it with the fingers, and in the course of two weeks you will find it at the cage door ready to come out when you approach. Let it fly about the rooms, perch upon your shoulder, and in time you will notice that it will be doing all sorts of things that will amuse and interest you. By this kind of training the birds will sing much sweeter, and in many ways repay you for your extra attention.
