Ringing canaries is a practice that involves placing a special ring with a unique number on the leg of a canary.

Ringing is often used in canary breeding because it allows for easy identification of individual birds and keeps records of the breeding. Ringing canaries can also help to locate them if they escape or are stolen. In the case of breeding canaries, ringing is often required by breeding organizations such as the Polish Society of Canary Lovers, which allow for registration and participation in shows and contests. Ringing is also practiced by some breeders of other bird species, such as parrots and cockatoos.
