The Wild Canary

and a few close relatives

      Dr Hans Classen spent many long hours to capture a few of these beautiful wild relations of our canaries on film, and has generously given his permission for them to be shared here. Just click on the thumbnails to see a larger version of each picture, with comments.

This site is dedicated to all of those who try to help others on our journey to a better
tomorrow, and especially to Jack Merkens, whose last words to me were "Promise
me you'll keep writing about those canaries! Never stop, ok? Promise!"
Okay, Jack. I promise.
