In the mid 1930s, a group wanted a bird that had a louder voice than the German Roller. They decided that the appearance of the Scots Border canary was the best for their purpose. The Border, however, has a very loud, choppy song. The American Singer is about 2/3 Roller and 1/3 Border. Its song is sweet, not too loud, not too soft, pleasing to the ear, with plenty of variety. Only the male American Singer will sing so this makes sexing easy.
