About

The Yorkshire canary is a type canary developed in Yorkshire, England. Slim, small birds were once favoured, to the point that the breed was said to pass through a finger ring, but selective breeding enlarged it and size now defines the breed. In judging, the ideal bird stands at roughly 45 degrees to the perch with a straight line from head to tail. Type canaries range from 11 cm to 23 cm, and the Yorkshire sits at the larger end. Care matches other type canaries: a canary-seed-based mix supplemented with greens. It tames well and breeds relatively easily.
