I've always been really fond of canaries. I'm not very much a bird person, though.
I'm thinking more about it though...Sapphira passed away last year, and Aidan's getting older, and all I have are the snakes and him and Milo, really. We live with lots of other pets, but they're not "mine" really.
I said no more small animals after these guys are gone, butttttt I waaaaant.
I just don't know all that much about canary care. Are they messy like other, larger birds? Are they very tame, do they like attention and affection? Can you leave them, say, for a weekend with lights on a timer and a food dispenser? Do they poop all over the house if you let them out? Are they trainable at all?
There are a lot of varieties, too...my main attraction to them are their songs. Do the pretty orangey and yellow ones sing? I think the ones bred for their songs are the sort of mottled greenish yellow ones, is that true?
*sigh* maybe I'll just buy a canary songs CD
