The phrase "to sing like a canary" refers to someone who reveals secrets or informs on others, particularly in legal contexts. The expression likely originates from the practice of using canaries in coal mines; miners would bring these birds to detect toxic gases. If the canary showed signs of distress or died, it served as a warning, much like an informant who "sings" to alert authorities. The phrase has since evolved to describe anyone who betrays confidences or cooperates with law enforcement.

How do you know if the canary egg is from the boy bird?
One way is to hold the canary on its back (as in, hold the canary in the palm of your hand where its tummy is facing towards you) and blow lightly/gently near its private area. If you see a small thing sticking up, then it's obviously a male. If you don't see one, then it's a female. Sometimes, however, it may be difficult to see what you want to see/find. You can not go by singing because females can mimic males.
