Color Bred Canary. Pros and Cons, Price, How to choose, Facts, Care, History

--►Canaries were first bred in captivity in the 17th century. They were brought over by Spanish sailors to Europe. This bird became expensive and fashionable to breed in courts of Spanish and English kings. Monks started breeding them and only sold the males (which sing). This kept the birds in short supply and drove the price up. Eventually, Italians obtained hens and were able to breed the birds. This made them very popular, resulting in many breeds arising, and the birds being bred all over Europe.
The same occurred in England. First the birds were only owned by the rich, but eventually the local citizens started to breed them and, again, they became very popular. Many breeds arose through selective breeding, and they are still very popular today for their voices.

It would be interesting to know what language this was originally written in as there are some funny translations that occur

[@Robin3615]

Canary Islands got their name because of dogs, not birds. Geeze

Over half the birds your showing arent even fringilids, let alone canaries. Also what do you mean a "cage shouldnt be too large"? Larger the cage the better. They are meant to change their plumage in winter, not letting them do this can cause them to be in breeding plumage for the entire year which doesnt let it rest and moult. Canaries are 100% not poultry like what. Poultry are ground birds. Canaries are the only domesticated songbird. Mutations, breeds, and subspecies are not the same. MY GOD green singers are not canaries, and you didnt even touch upon feather type, and type and colour canaries. There are no subspecies of canaries, and breeds are not the same as mutations. Breeds are the type of canary eg border, lizard, opal etc (in which there are type canaries (such as borders. These change the shape of the canary) and colour (lizards and opals which are bred for colour and pattern)). Mutations are seperate genes that sit between breeds, such as cinnamon and pastel canaries which are found in the breed of border canaries. I am writing this for the missinformed viewers that watch the videos that you make with a quick wikipedia search.
