Are you fond of birds? Perhaps you have one at home. It is very cruel to keep such birds as sparrows or swallows in cages, because these birds like better to fly about in the open air.,

See how the canary is clothed. It is covered with feathers. Some of them are long, and these are used for flying. The others are short, and serve to keep the bird warm.,

Look at the canary’s foot. It has one strong toe behind, and three toes in front. This foot is just the right shape for holding firmly to the branch or perch on which the canary sits. So the canary is called a perching bird. It cannot walk as we do, but it hops or jumps along the ground.,

Keep your canary’s cage clean, and give the bird fresh water to drink and seed to eat every day. Then it will repay you by its sweet singing all day long.,
