Hi Laura. Sorry your canary is sick. Until you can get him to the vet, put him in a separate cage from the female and cover his cage. When my birds are sick, I place a heating pad (on low) on the cage to keep them warm.

He needs warmth and quiet to fight his illness. Because of the cover, he will be less active.

Good luck, and keep us posted on his recovery!
