A Conversation for Colours of Wildlife: Yellow-Fronted Canary
Are the eyes actually yellow, though?

I can see how yellow eyebrows would make it seem as if the eyes themselves were yellow, but are they? Or am I being too picky?
Another thing: Lanzababy said that Lanza, one of the canary islands, was dry. If yellow-fronted canaries like drinking water, how would they get it on a dry island? Or do they have a different range than the canaries on the famous islands?

Florida and Hawaii have them, too.

Hello Paulh! No their actual eyes are not yellow but dark brown. It's just a reference to the yellow markings around the eyes.
They've been introduced to Hawaii and maybe escaped in Florida.
The canary that occurs in the Canary Islands is a different species, Serinus canaria. It is rare on Lanzarote. While that island is generally dry, there are moister bits of it, and there are some large trees and palms.
