Hi guys and Canary funs :) here you can see the <<Lizard Canary>> singing and to read some info about it
Njoy.

INFO about Lizard Canary:
Lizard Canary
Family: Fringillidae
Scientific Name:Serinus canaria domesticus

Even though this pretty little bird is one of the oldest varieties it has had a rather rocky history. They almost became extinct in the early 1900's. With two world wars and disease epidemics, the Lizard Canary was reduced to only a couple dozen breeding pairs by the mid 1940's. With the help of the Lizard Canary Association of Great Britain and a closely monitored "come-back" breeding program, today this canary thrives and is one of most popular Type canaries available.
A "type canary", is bred for physical trait or shape rather than color or song. The Lizard Canary is bred for the spangled effect of its feathers, a result of a gene that restricts the tendency of melanin in the plumage. This spangling effect diminishes with each annual molt however, so a Lizard is best shown in its first year.
