Canary seed, or annual canary grass, is a major component of feed mixtures for caged and wild birds. Canary seed is an annual grass that grows to maturity in 105 to 110 days, or approximately the same number of days as hard red spring wheat. Plants grow to a metre in height at maturity.. Seedlings appear spindly upon emergence but begin to tiller at the four-leaf stage, and a dense cover exists at the boot stage.The seed is similar to flax seed in size but is slightly more plump. The seed coat is brown and is covered by a thin, papery, glossy yellow hull. The glossy yellow hull is very attractive to birds, so it is desirable to maintain the hulls while harvesting.

The scientific name for canaryseed is Phalaris canariensis, and as the name would suggest, the crop originated in the Canary Islands Saskatchewan has become the worldâ??s leading producer and exporter of canaryseed, with the production used almost exclusively as a component of feed mixtures for caged and wild birds. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada estimates the value of Canadian exports at over $134 million in 2008 and nearly $90 million in 2009. The Canaryseed Development Commission of Saskatchewan is working to get canaryseed approved for human food uses. This is the main activity of the producer-funded commission. Some consumption of canaryseed is occurring in the health food market, especially in countries with a Hispanic population. Varieties There are two main types of canaryseed, itchy and hairless. About two-thirds of the Saskatchewan acreage is comprised of the itchy varieties, which have tiny, sharp hairs at the base of the seed. Hairless or glabrous varieties have been developed by Dr. Pierre Hucl of the University of Saskatchewanâ??s Crop Development Centre. Although these varieties make harvesting and processing more comfortable, many growers feel that the older itchy varieties provide higher, more stable yields and that has limited the uptake of the new varieties. The itchy varieties in use include Keet, Cantate and Elias. Elias pedigreed seed has not been produced in recent years. The glabrous varieties are CDC Maria and CDC Togo. Togo is the newer of the two and has better yields than Maria. Another glabrous variety called CDC Bastia has been registered, but no commercial seed was available for 2010. The bushel weight of itchy varieties is considered to be 50 pounds, while the glabrous varieties are typically calculated at 56 pounds per bushel. Canaryseed is not a regulated crop under the Canadian Grain Commission. There are no established grades and there are no licensing and bonding requirements for buyers.

The scientific name for canaryseed is Phalaris canariensis, and as the name would suggest, the crop originated in the Canary Islands. Originally a native of the Mediterranean region, it is now grown commercially in several parts of the world for birdseed. The seed is used as bird food and is generally mixed with rapeseed and other seeds that cheapen it. It should be kept in a dry place and away from vermin. Industrially, a flour made from seed is employed in the manufacture of fine cotton goods and silk stuffs. Worldwide, it is considered a minor crop, with regional relevance, with a production of around 250 thousand tons per year, which restricts private investment and public research in its genetic and technological improvement. Canada has well over 80 per cent of world canaryseed exports. Other exporting countries include Argentina and Hungary, with Argentina progressively growing scale and displacing Canada in the South American countries. World demand for canaryseed remains relatively constant from one year to the next. An important price determinant is the production and inventory in Canada, along with the willingness of producers to sell at any given price. It´s a basic ingredient in many seed mixes.
