Here's a breakdown:
* Pair Bonding: Canaries form strong pairs during the breeding season to raise their young. They share nest building, incubation, and feeding duties.
* Temporary Bonds: These bonds are not permanent and are usually broken after the breeding season is finished.
* New Pairings: Canaries will often form new pairs in the next breeding season, with different partners.
However:
* Some individuals might remain paired for multiple breeding seasons if the pairing proves successful.
* There is a greater chance of repeated pairings if the birds are kept in close quarters and provided with a suitable environment for breeding.
Overall, while canaries demonstrate strong pair bonding during the breeding season, they do not form lifelong partnerships like some other bird species.
