Canaries are actually a member of the Finch family, native to the
Canary Islands. The wild Canary is greenish yellow over most of their body with yellow underparts.
The domestic Canary, however, comes in an array of bright colours. A canary has a lifespan of up to 10 years.
The males sing better than the females, although the canary may not sing as much during a molt. Canaries do
not require a great deal of attention and are therefore suitable for beginning pet bird owners. As Canaries are not
social birds, a single pet canary will be happy. |
