Singing Canaries
 |
American Singers |
The American Singer was developed in the U.S. by eight women in the Boston
area in the 1930s, and was officially recognized in 1942. The
"blueprint" for breeding is 2/3 Roller
canary bloodline and 1/3 Border canary bloodline. |
 |
German Rollers |
This is an old breed of canary specifically developed for its song
|
 |
Waterslagers |
Originating in Belgium, the Waterslager has
been a favourite among fanciers all over the world for hundreds of years.
|
 |
Hybrids/"Mules" |
Mules are produced for their
singing ability and are also exhibited at shows. They are often a
cross of a canary type with either the European Goldfinch or Green Finch.
The overwhelming majority of these crosses are infertile, hence the term
"mule."
|
Perhaps the most famous canaries of all, these are bred
strictly for their song. Most are yellow, green, or variegated. Best known
are the Rollers, Waterslagers, American Singers, and Timbrados
