The Most Expensive Songbirds

Songbirds are among the most widespread and sought after birds for lovers of the sound of birds and sweet birds. There are many songbirds that we discussed previously. Whether pet songbirds , or wild songbirds.

But have you ever wondered what the difference is between these songbirds? How do bird enthusiasts evaluate it?

In this topic, we will present the characteristics of songbirds, which increase or decrease the price of the bird.

But before we begin, we must know that in songbirds, the male is always more expensive than the female. The reason is that the male is the one who tweets, but the female does not perform beautiful singing clips.

Types of songbirds

One of the reasons that contribute to the high price of songbirds is its species. For example, common birds such as canaries and goldfinches often have prices that are not very high, because there is a large offer for these birds.

While there are some species that are expensive, such as the miso bird (known as the red goldfinch in some areas, and it is a hybrid between a male goldfinch and a female canary). The miso bird, known as the maestro, is because its tweet combines a canary and a goldfinch. Plus, it’s not very available.

There are also types of wild songbirds, the price of which is expensive in the bird market, such as the nightingale , even if it is small and does not sing. Of course, the reason for its high price is that there are not many available in the markets, such as the nightingale, the African mynah…

Training songbirds

Training methods for all types of songbirds are not the same. The breeder will often play a tape of a professional songbird, of the same type of bird he or she is listening to.

He plays the tape daily for the bird. But it is important for the bird to be in a quiet room so that it can relax and focus on the sound in order to learn in high quality.

If you have a parrot, it is best to keep it away from the songbird you want to train to sing. Because the parrot makes annoying sounds that may interfere with the songbird’s learning quality.

Do not forget that the quality of the bird’s learning, the quality of its singing, and the length of time the bird continues to sing increase its price.

Caring for songbirds

Caring for a songbird may be more difficult than caring for a parrot. This is because parrots are stronger than ornamental birds and are physically more patient than songbirds.

But usually taking care of songbirds is not difficult. You just need a quiet place, with sunlight and ventilation.

Do not forget about cleanliness, because as we said, songbirds such as goldfinches and canaries may quickly become infected with bacteria and insects. You also need to diversify the food for your birds.

There are many people who only give birds millet. This is not good because birds need a variety of sources of vitamins and proteins. .

Quality bird singing

A beginner may not distinguish the difference between the singing of a professional bird and a beginner. In order to know the quality of a bird’s singing, you must have listened a lot to many songbirds.

Here are some characteristics of songbirds, due to which the price of the bird changes.

The longer a songbird sings without stopping, the more expensive it is.
If it is a pet bird, its price increases. What is meant here is that the bird continues to tweet even if many people are near it.
If the bird is also beautiful in shape and large in size, its price increases.
The price of the bird also increases depending on its condition. (Appearance, health condition, activity of the bird, cleanliness of the bird…)
The tones that the bird emits may increase its price. (What is meant here is the pitch and pitch of the voice, in addition to the combination with which it sings, such as a bird mixing a goldfinch’s song with a canary’s song… This type is known as rumix)
