Canary symbolizes joy, freedom and intellectual development. A flying canary symbolizes freedom or gossip and a caged canary means entrapment.

Usually interpreted as a happy symbol. Connected with freedom and intellect. It's old use as a barometer for air quality in the mines still gives it connotations of testing and self-sacrifice. If depicted in a cage it symbolises entrapment, prisoners and sometimes unhappiness. I have also seen a flying canary (yellow bird) used to represent sexual ecstasy.
