This bird appears across the great seas in the following continents: Europe, North America, Africa.
It's unusual that the name of a bird refers to dogs. Wikipedia writes: The name Islas Canarias is likely derived from the Latin name Canariae Insulae, meaning "Islands of the Dogs", a name that was evidently generalized from the ancient name of one of these islands, Canaria – presumably Gran Canaria. According to the historian Pliny the Elder, the island Canaria contained "vast multitudes of dogs of very large size".
The common canary kept as a pet is subspecies Serinus canaria forma domestica.
