In the December 1938 Issue of National Geographic Magazine Alexander Wetmore writes an article titled Canaries and Other Cage-Bird Friends. He starts off with the Origin of the canary and how it has become a beloved caged song bird. One of the more interesting facts was that the this bird was introduced to the Island of Elba and to Midway Islands. The canaries on Midway are believed to be the offspring of one or more pairs of yellow canaries released on the island by Mr. D Morrison of the Commercial Pacific Cable Company.
