Many people keep finches, which actually include the group of canaries, as pets. These birds do usually not become as tame as parrots, but nevertheless may trust their keeper enough to land on his or her hand. Generally, finches are great to watch and listen to, and many people keeping finches sooner or later find themselves breeding those little birds, too. If properly housed, fed and otherwise taken care of, finches can live for many years in captivity.
Canaries
Domestic Canaries are descendants of the wild canaries brought to Europe from the Canary Islands in the 16th Century.
