A canary is a BIRD of the FINCH family, It is
found wild in the Canary Islands and Madeira.
It is greenish with a yellow underside.
Canaries have been bred as cage birds in
Europe since the 15th century, and many
domestic varieties are yellow or orange.
Some canaries are used in mines as detectors
of traces of poison gas in the air.
