Information about

The
Lancashire is the
largest of all English breeds of canary, the aim generally
being for eight inches as an ideal length. It is a bold and
upstanding bird which should never crouch or lean across the
perch. It is a crested variety in which two types of
individual are to be found, namely those with a crest (known
as “Coppies”) and those without (known as “Plainheads”). Both
form an integral part of the breed as a whole. The Lancashire
is always bred in the clear form, either yellow or buff, with
no variegation such as found in other breeds of canary, and
the only departure from this ideal that is allowed is in the
form of a grey or grizzled coppy in the crested birds.
