Description
The yellow canary is typically 13 cm in length. The adult male colour ranges from almost uniform yellow in the northwest of its range to streaked, olive backed birds in the southeast. The underparts, rump and tail sides are yellow. The female has grey-brown upperparts, black wings with yellow flight feathers, and a pale supercilium. The underparts are white with brown streaking. The juvenile resembles the female, but has heavier streaking. This species is easily distinguished from the yellow-fronted canary by its lack of black facial markings, and its bill is less heavy than that of other similar African Crithagra species. The brimstone canary, with overlapping range, is a known confusion species.

Feeding Habits
Yellow Canary primarily feeds on seeds, flowers, and occasionally insects. Foraging takes place mostly on the ground, as well as in vegetation. Known to forage in various group sizes, with a preference for Chenopodium plants.
Habitat
Yellow Canary predominantly inhabits areas characterized by karoo, coastal, or mountain valley scrublands. This species adapts to a range of environments including lowland plains with bush and scrub, such as acacia and Terminalia woodlands, dry grasslands, semi-desert foothills, and rocky hillsides. It can also be found in dune fynbos with grassy scrub cover, near the seashore amidst sandy areas with vegetative species like Euphorbia mauretanica, as well as along the edges of cultivation and gardens. In mountainous regions, yellow Canary extends its habitat to lower montane forest fringes and alpine shrubberies, reaching altitudes up to 1530 meters.
