Maybe! But I love those canaries and it's just normal
that they will fight because of food 'coz even humans
do the same too if they don't have penny.

Muffy: "Biff, what a lovely little bird!"

Biff: "Careful, snookums, that's a mean one. Especially since he hasn't eaten in a half hour."

Muffy: "Mean one? But that's a canary!"

Biff: "It is indeed, Muffy. Listen to this: Edgerton and I have put together a fighting canary team. We're going to represent the Greenwich Racquet Club!"

Muffy: "How lovely! But it's not expensive, is it?"

Biff: "Expensive?"

Muffy: "I mean … no dipping into principal, right?"

Biff: "Oh!! Ha ha! Of course not, darling. Compared to this, putting gas in the Range Rover is a major investment. And guess what--we want you to pick out the team colors! So, what are your favorite pastels?"

Muffy: "Oooh, this is so exciting …"

I sure hope the canaries don't start attacking children now they have the taste of blood.

I lost it at Edgerton. I recently, in the course of business, met a guy named Boyce. I expected him to put on a blazer and a captain's hat at the end of the meeting and head off to his yacht.

Aren't canaries the type of bird they used to take into the mines to help detect poisonous gasses?
