Before the advent of cars, one could see and smell the emissions of horse-drawn wagons in New York. Since there was no way of controlling these emissions, they - or the undigested oats in them - served to nourish a large population of English sparrows. If you said that something was for the birds, you're politely saying that it's horse crap.

Scientifically it's called "brood parasitism". The most well-known example of this type of birds is the Common Cuckoo. This is also the origin of the words "cuckold" and "cuckoldry".
Canary birds got their name from the Canary Islands, where they were first discovered by Europeans in the 15th century. The islands were named after the Latin term "Canariae Insulae," meaning "Islands of the Dogs," due to the large dogs found there. The birds themselves were named after the islands, highlighting their geographical origin. Over time, canaries became popular as pets and were bred for various colors and song types, but their name remained linked to their place of origin.

An example of structures with different origin but same function is the wings of a bird and the wings of a butterfly. These structures have evolved independently in birds and insects to serve the same function of flying, but they have different origins in terms of their underlying anatomical structures and developmental pathways.
