Finch family songbirds (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

canaries

(Other definitions for canaries that I've seen before include "Yellow birds or islands off Africa" , "Islands and yellowish birds" , "Yellow songbirds or Spanish islands off Africa" , "Group of islands in the Atlantic" , "The birds forewarn of danger in the mines" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
