Canaries grow to be about five inches long and can live for up to twelve years. Many people think of all canaries as only being bright yellow, but canaries can come in different colors, from orange-red to blue and white. A canary usually prefers to have the whole cage to itself, so it is best not to keep more than one canary in a cage.
Like finches, canaries are not usually kept as birds that can be held and handled. Most people keep the birds because of their beautiful colors and their ability to sing. Both male and female canaries can sing, but the males are the ones known for their beautiful songs. In fact, some canary owners enter their pets in canary singing competitions!
