Angel - Ringo, Canary, is coming on to 12 weeks of Molting. Two nights ago, I covered him up two hours ahead of schedule. How long does it take for Ringo to Sing, doing this? Also, for most of his life, until recently, he has been on a 12/12 cage covering. Could That be why his Molt is taking so long?

This may be "normal" for Ringo. Molt times are only estimations based on 'most' birds. Stress, illness or diet can play large roles in molting. You can have him examined by your veterinarian to diagnose any illness or to confirm good health. Confirm proper environmental parameters and diet. There is no way of determining when he will begin singing again.
