| The Norwich Canary was brought to Norwich, England by Flemish refugees over 300 years ago where the canary became very popular and eventually took on the name of the town.The Norwich canaries were smaller back then...a little over 5 inches long and skinny-ish---Is "skinny-ish" a word? The large Lancashire Coppy Canary was bred to the Norwich in the late 1800's increasing the size of the Norwich. Also, about this timecolor-feeding was introduced further changing the appearance of the Norwich Canary. In 1890 a group of 400 breeders and enthusiasts got together in Norwich and decided on a new standard of type and quality regarding the Norwich. While color at one time was considered an important attribute, it has NOW beenforgotten and ignored and the canary'sType has taken the lead in importance.
The Norwich is one of my favorites...the way the head feathers BULK UP around the eyes gives these canaries a very unique look.
