Canaries are well known for their history and revered for for their singing abilities. Almost anyone who knows what a canary is has heard about their use as a carbon-monoxide detector leading into the early 1900's, before other means were developed (they were placed in mines as they would die if the air quality began to deteriorate and miners would know to get out of the mine). The canaries sensitivity to air quality and airborne sickness made them popular in North America before their singing voice was recognized for excellence among potential owners. The Yorkshire Canary is among the most beautiful and sensitive of canaries, so you need to take a few factors into consideration before spending your money on the beautiful, slender Yorkshire Canary. 1. A Yorkshire Canary should have perfect posture. They're over six inches long when mature and are known as a "Guardsman" -- since they stand so tall and proud. Yours should stand tall and will appear almost perfectly erect (head should be just past the 12 O'clock position). 2. The Yorkshire Canary is a slender bird, however don't choose one with a distended abdomen, as this indicates the bird's lack of appetite and is normally a sign of sickness (all canaries will have a poor appetite when their health is poor). Along with the look of their abdomen: Also look at their eyes and make sure they're wide open, with a clear appearance. 3. This is the most important rule: Buy from a reputable breeder -- Due to the canary's sensitivity to disease and poor health, you need to buy them from an expert source. This might be a local breeder working from their house, or an importer with a store-front. Whatever source you pick; make sure they have a solid reputation and offer a guarantee if the bird's health proves to be a problem.
