The  Canary (Serinus canaria) is known worldwide simply as wild Canary. It is also called the Island Canary, Canary or Common Canary, is a small passerine bird belonging to the genus Serinus in the finch family, Fringillidae. It is native to the Canary Islands, the Azores, and Madeira. Wild birds are mostly yellow-green, with brownish streaking on the back. The species is common in captivity and a number of colour varieties have been bred.  This bird is the natural symbol of the Canary Islands, together with the Canary Island Date Palm.[2]
