Canary bird
There are many people who love raising birds with beautiful voices at home, and among those birds is the canary, which God Almighty has distinguished with a beautiful and sweet voice that makes everyone who hears it love and adore it. The beginning of the appearance of this bird was in the Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean opposite the west coast of the African continent, so it was named the canary after the place.

Origin of the canary bird
The canary bird first appeared in the Canary Islands, which are located in the Atlantic Ocean. At that time, the bird was yellow and relatively small in size, but over time several other colors appeared as a result of hybridization and changes in breeds. Even now, there are some birds belonging to the canary family that live freely.
Canary bird characteristics
Humans began domesticating canaries several years ago, more specifically four centuries ago, but the breeds they domesticated did not have bright colors and a beautiful voice. Humans began to crossbreed the breeds and conduct a mating process between different breeds, and this mating resulted in new breeds with a beautiful voice. There are even breeds that are able to sing continuously and permanently, such as the Harz Mountains breed, the Norwich breed, the Yorkshire breed, and other breeds.
With further technological progress, humans began introducing artificial selection and breed improvement techniques to canary breeds, modifying their characteristics to produce new types with brightly colored feathers and sweet voices. These types are the ones found in bird shops and sold to bird lovers.
What does a canary bird eat?
The food of a canary differs whether it is free-range or kept in a cage. Free-range canaries rely on fruits, tree berries, insects , and worms for their food, as these things provide them with many of the vitamins and minerals their bodies need.
As for those birds that are raised at home or in a commercial shop, they can be fed with a mixture of grains such as rapeseed, radish grain, oats, flax, sesame, millet, hemp, and thistle seeds. This mixture provides the canary with all the elements the body needs. It is preferable to give the bird some fruits and arugula if they are available.

Types of canaries
Canaries are divided into three basic categories or groups, which are as follows:
- Colored Canaries: This group includes canaries with bright and beautiful colors. Therefore, we find that a large group of traders and ordinary individuals raise them for the purpose of mating and producing new breeds of the same type, so that they can sell them, as they have very high prices compared to the ordinary yellow types.
- Singing Canaries: This category is distinguished by its sweet and beautiful voices and its wide ability to sing. Among the most famous of these types are the American Singing Canary, the Spanish Timbrado, and the Waterslager Canary.
- Canaries classified by shape: This group classifies birds according to shape, size, age, feathers, and other characteristics.
Where should a canary cage be placed in the house?
Raising canaries at home is an easy and simple process, as they do not require specific conditions, are easy to feed, and reproduce quickly and regularly. However, it is important to ensure that the canary cage is placed in a location high above the ground, with a moderate temperature, as high temperatures can kill it. It is best to place the cage in a location out of sight.
Therefore, we have dedicated the seventh bird to you:

Distinguishing between male and female canaries
Distinguishing between male and female canaries is extremely difficult, as ordinary people cannot tell the difference, and even specialists sometimes make mistakes in the process. However, there are some things that can be used as aids to distinguish between them, such as the following:
- The song : The song is one of the distinguishing features between a male and female canary. The male is characterized by a long song, while the female's song is closer to chirping.
- The stance : The male's stance differs from the female's. We find that the male stands upright, raising his head upwards, unlike the female who stands round with her head down.
- Feathers : Often, the male canary has brightly colored and attractive feathers, unlike the female's feathers, which are dull in color.
