Can a finch successfully breed with a canary


Answer:

Hi,

Technically yes, as they are in the same family and canaries are a type of finch. However, hybrids are frowned upon by serious breeders. It’s so easy to find a mate of the same species, there is no need to cross breed any bird.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
