  1. canaries

    Canaries are small, brightly colored songbirds that belong to the finch family, native to the Canary Islands. They are known for their pleasing, melodic song and are commonly kept as pets. Canaries are also used in research and were historically used in coal mining to detect poisonous gases, which is where the term "canary in the coal mine" originated. They are usually yellow, but there are also red and orange varieties due to selective breeding.
