LOCATION. Found throughout Europe Resi- dent. CANARY FINCH. This well-known bird is among Finches what the Gray Mocking Bird is among the Thrushes, the great musical leader of the tribe. We may go farther, and say that there is no bird of its size known to naturalists which can compare with the Canary Finch in the energy, fulness of tone, and harmony of its notes. And it is cer- tainly complimentary to the discernment of our race in this instance, that the merits of this bird seem to have been ...duly appreciated, for there is hardly a spot on this wide earth, where civiliza- tion has entered, but you will find domesticated this sweet little vocalist. Originally, a native of the Canary Islands (as its name imports) it was EUROPEAN FINCHES. 55 introduced into Europe about the beginning of the sixteenth century ; it is now almost found everywhere In the splendid mansion and in the humble cottage, its enlivening and delightful melody is heard alike in both, and its little wants are administered too by the hard, horny hands of the artisan in his cot, and the soft and delicate tapering fingers of the fair one, in her bower.
