Should the internal colour of cages be white?

Hi As a new boy to the world of keeping Canaries I was lucky enough to purchase cages from someone who was giving up the hobby. The internal of the cages are natural wood colour but all the images of cages I have seen the insides are white. The cages seem rather dark not painted.....Derek

I painted mine white simply for more light when breeding,,,as I breed mine indoors,,,and the window is small,,,i also bought a full spectrum bulb,,,the nursery cages however I painted the same blue as the showcages,,,so the young get used to the colour,,,hope this helps,,,johnboy...

Many thanks I also have my cages indoors so it makes sence......Derek

.

ive seen some cages literally wallpapered pete ,,,the young lad pasted woodland scenes on the back of his double breeders,,,and if I do say so myself it looked brilliant when he took photos,,,but then the crap etc accumulated and he ended up stripping and painting them,,,plus the birds had a bit pick and pulled strips off,,,didn't look so good then,,,all a learning curve for him ,,,johnboy...

Thanks guys like the idea of pale blue.
