Riddle me this.....

The owner of a pet store tried to clean the cages of some canaries, but then when he tried to put them back he was lost. If he puts in one canary per cage, he has one bird without a cage. If he puts in two canaries per cage, he has one cage empty. How many cages and canaries does he have?

Sonya has it, and Heather too!
Four canaries and three cages. If you put one canary in each cage, you have an extra bird without a cage. However, if you put two canaries in each cage then you have two canaries in the first cage, two canaries in the second cage and an extra cage.
