anyhow, yeah, it's like i said, you can't hardly hear the canaries on the south side of the island except in the spaces between the towns, because of how noisy it is, but you will often see them, they feed on grass and weed seeds, i used to watch them over the back of my place in Sao Vicente when the weeds down in the field below my place was in seed
they eat little seeds, and yeah, you can usually find the feed that they like at most grocery stores labeled "canarios", it's made out of stuff like millet and other small grains
