Canary no longer singing

Our canary always sang – all the time. He went through a molt in June, July and half of August. I know they will stop singing during a molt but it’s been two months since then and he still is not singing – at all. Just sits quietly in his cage. Anyone know why that would be? He’s no longer molting – I no longer find any feathers like I was seeing during his molt. So I’m fairly certain his molting period is over and has been for several weeks. Anyone have a similar experience?
