HEALTH

Hey. I'm about to buy a new canary but had some worries. It looked like a Norwich canary but its stance was a bit shaky. My friend suggested it was sick but then it started to sing, and sing a lot. We asked the storekeeper and he said it was his best singer, however the idea of it being sick stuck in my mind, so could it be that a sick canary can sing?? And what are the signs of sickness? I was also wondering at which age do female canaries become ready for breeding? And how do we know?
