CANAiilES THRIVE ON SEEDS, CRUSHED EASILY IN STOUT BILLS 



They need no fancy mixed foods ; hence their popularity with amateur bird keepers. The Wild 

 Serin (upper left) is a common European cousin of the wild canary of the Azores, Madeiras, and 

 Canary Islands, from which has been developed the hardy domestic pet. The Nokwich Ykllow 

 (bottom center) and the Norwich Green (lower right) are two color phases of one of the most abun- 

 dant types of canary in captivity. Of spotless plumage, the White Canary (upper right) perches 

 diagonally above the handsome Cinnamon, distinguished by pibk or reddish-brown eyes. The Gold 

 Lizard (lower left) is bred for perfection of color pattern.
