The Island Canary, Serinus canaria, is native to the Canary Islands, the Azores, and Madeira. During the 16th century some of these birds were captured and brought to the mainland to be kept as pets. Since then, the rather plain greenish yellow and brown birds have been bred selectively, and even interbred with goldfinches, to produce brighter colours, more vibrant song, different shapes, and more ornate feathers. The domestic bird today, quite unlike its forbears, is Serinus canaria domesticus. More

The island canary is a small, slender finch with a body length of about 5 in (12.5 cm). It has a rather long, forked tail, and a short, stout, conical, pointed beak. The male is colored overall olive-brown, with yellow on the face and belly. The female is somewhat duller in color. Domesticated varieties, however, can vary widely in coloration, with as many as several hundred types being recognized. More
