Atlantic Canary
Serinus canaria
Atlantic canaries inhabit scrub, woodland edges, cultivated land, and gardens across the Macaronesian islands. They forage on the ground and among vegetation for grass seeds, buds, fruit, and occasional small invertebrates. Adults fly with quick undulating wingbeats and often perch conspicuously to sing. The wild species is the ancestor of the familiar domestic canary.
