[substeps] Do not use cat litter or wood shavings as cage liner. These can cause breathing problems for canaries. Dirt can also build up between the bars of the cage if handled incorrectly. Make sure the bedding is soft and comfortable for the canaries. Make sure the newspaper has a large bottom, and avoid paper with too much material in it. If the cage liner has a plastic bag in it, dust the cage of newspaper or cob bedding all the way to the bottom. [substeps] Always wipe down the cage liner during your canary's keep-clean yearly breeding season. Also clear out any rocks, grass or sticks from the cage floor, preferably something that has been heavily soiled.
