Canaries are small, brightly colored songbirds from the finch family, known for their cheerful and melodic songs. Native to the Canary Islands, Madeira, and the Azores, they have been domesticated for centuries, with varieties bred for their vibrant plumage and musical abilities. Canaries typically have yellow or orange feathers, but some species also come in red, green, and white. They are social birds that thrive in groups and enjoy a diet of seeds, fruits, and vegetables. Due to their gentle temperament and easy care, canaries are popular pets, especially appreciated for their soothing tunes and charming presence.
