Canary Mary is an elderly canary woman with pale skin and a raspy voice. She has frazzled, spiky blond hair and a few sparse feathers on her arms to reflect her old age. Although her wings are in bad shape, she still proves to be a spry, adapt flier. She wears a somewhat short yellow dress and yellow shoes to match the color of her feathers.

Despite her age she has youthful and energetic green eyes. | Canary Mary is an elderly canary woman with pale skin and a raspy voice.
