Gripping the upper perch, in positions assumed in display, are the Belgian Famcy (left), with head 

 and neck extended at a sharp angle from the body, and the Scotch Faxcy, with a smoothly arched 

 exhibition posture. A "mop" of large, Hat feathers adorns the crown of the Crested Canary (lower 

 left). Unusually long, wavy, and recurved plumage gives the Frilled Canary (lower right) the 

 appearance of having been stroked the wrong way. Dandy of the English canaries, the Yorkshire 

 (right center) should be slim, long, and straight as a soldier.
