"The Canary" is a small songbird known for its bright yellow plumage and melodious singing. Native to the Canary Islands, Azores, and Madeira, these birds are popular as pets due to their cheerful songs and vibrant colors. Canaries belong to the finch family and are often kept in cages, where they can be easily cared for. In addition to their beauty and song, canaries have historically been used in coal mines as a safety measure. Miners would bring canaries underground to detect toxic gases like carbon monoxide. If the canary became ill or died, it served as a warning for miners to evacuate.
