The canary is a playful and lovely bird which symbolizes joy, happiness and a general state of wellbeing when appearing in your dream. If in your dream you see a canary happily chirping and hopping around, this means that you have or will have a fulfilled life from all points of view, many trustworthy friends you can count on, a stable relationship and you are involved in successful business.

If the little bird is seen in freedom, all aspects of your life are positive. But if the canary is kept in a cage, then your happiness is also entrapped and you cannot enjoy life at its fullest. You should try to free your soul from anything that keeps it within a 'cage' and does not allow you to be happy.

If the canary bird appears in dreams of young people, it stands for a fruitful and accomplished life. If a canary is given to you as a gift in your dream, then you are going to benefit from a legacy.

The canary seen in negative, gloomy circumstances announces unhappy events which will occur soon in your waking life. For instance, if you sell or give a canary bird away this means that you will fail in some of your major plans and your wishes will not come true.

Wounded, hungry, dead or dying canary birds forewarn of a great loss.

Seeing a canary in an unnatural, too dark or too bright light is a bad omen which foretells that the person who has the dream has high hopes for something that will never come true. If a young woman has such dreams, she should be very cautious because she is going to face a great disappointment if confiding in anyone around her, especially in the lip service and hollow words of admirers.
