Now THAT one really looks like a Canary.

He had his feathers all fluffed up because it was in the low 20s this morning.

That is a canary and I have seen many of them, my previous business was next to a bird place.

It is a leucistic Goldfinch. His feathers are all fluffed up because of the temperature. A canary would never have survived last night - It got down to 21 f. and a 30-40 mph wind.

Here is a photo of him the other day with his fellow young finches.

I've seen birds like that in Cincy. They get a pass.

how big is it? the American Goldfinch is smaller than a canary, that's for sure. I'm not familiar with their resistance to cold though but I have only seen them in warmer climates.

They are about 2 1/2" - 3" from head to tail. We have lots of Goldfinches, Purple Finches, and Red Housefinches.

Canaries and Parakeets can't survive here except for the summer months. Even in the Summer months the wind can be tough for them and cause them to chill. Canaries are from a latitude that is about the same as Jacksonville, Fl. Parakeets are from the tropics in various parts of the world.

had lots of canarys this past summer.

they go crazy when the purple thistle flowers start drying up and the seeds come out.

now it's just blue jays, crows, doves,finchs and woodpeckers of all shapes and sizes, pileated woodpeckers that make crows look tiny.
