What is a Canary?
A canary is a domesticated songbird famous for producing complex and often pleasing trilling songs. Typically, only male canaries sing, although hens have been known to produce songs, and the genetics of a hen play a role in the quality of song produced by her offspring, even if she does not sing herself. Canaries can be found in homes all over the world, and in a few regions, canaries have escaped to form feral colonies.
