British finches : ウィキペディア英語版 | British finches
The British finches are made up of several species of finch which were formerly very popular as cage birds in Great Britain. They are not currently commonplace, but are still kept by a few dedicated fanciers. ==History== In Victorian times British finches were hugely popular as cage birds throughout the British Isles,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Birdwatch News Archive )〕 often replacing canaries. Due to a lack of protection, thousands of birds were captured for the pet trade every year. Their popularity is reflected in the well-known British music hall song, "My Old Man (Said Follow the Van)", in the line, "I walked behind wiv me old cock linnet..." referring to the linnet (''Carduelis cannabina'').
