The Canary Birds 
The Norwich—this may be crested or plain headed, 
and may be yellow, buff or variegated in color. It 
has been estimated that four thousand 
breeders are engaged in the city of 
Norwich alone in rearing these birds. 
It is probably the oldest of the 
English breeds. 
The Yorkshire canary is a straight, 
long bird, with slender, graceful body 
and long tail. It has varieties of yel- 
low, buff, variegated and green. 
The Cinnamon—takes its name 
from its color which is golden brown; 
the color of cinnamon. This is also 
bred as a crested bird, and there is 
also a variety which is buff color, and 
one that is variegated. 
THE YORKSHIRE 
The Lizard has its wings beautifully and finely 
spangled, from the plain colored cap on the head 
down over the back and wings. . 
The London Fancy is a stouter bird than any of 
the above, and is pure colored, except for the dark 
flight feathers in the wings and tail. 
The Scotch Fancy is bred 
to crescent shape. 
The Belgian has a peculiar 
hump-backed appearance, be- 
cause of the attitude in 
which its head is carried, and 
because the shoulders are 
high and massive, and held K 
in an elevated’ position. THE LIZARD
