'''Canary Village''' is a location present in {{vg|Mother}}, which lies northwest of [[Podunk]] and southwest of the [[Choucream Zoo]]. Its inhabitants do mostly consist of canaries, with the exception of one human being who more or less seems to look out for the rest of the residents. The main role this place serves is that it is where the [[Eight Melodies|second melody]] can be found (although [[Ninten]] chronologically can achieve it as the third one); more specific, a canary named [[Laura]] sings it after Ninten returns her child to her. Her child, the [[List of key items in Mother#Canary Chick|Canary Chick]], can be bought from the topmost floor of the department store in Podunk for $85, although Ninten can get it for free if he replies to the offer with a no. Laura is located just outside of the northern part of the wall that covers the village, and can be reached by going behind the only spire which is silver; after Ninten shows the chick for her, she will be overjoyed by the reunion and sing the second melody.

Canary Village is a location present in EarthBound Beginnings. It is located northwest of Podunk and southwest of the Choucream Zoo and is where Ninten hears the second melody. Canary Village has a population of 10, is open every day from 7AM to 5PM with free admission[1], and was founded in 1907.[2]


Overview

The Canary Village, as the name suggests, is a village filled with canary inhabitants. These canaries are well-known for their beautiful singing, which attracts both people and wild birds. The village also acts as a wildlife refuge as no hunting is permitted.[3]

The Older Man of Canary Village

The Older Man of Canary Village is found between the spires in the west area of the village. If Ninten talks to him while holding the Canary Chick, he will ask for it to be returned to Laura. After doing so, he will comment on how she began singing again and asks if Ninten has learned the melody. He is the caretaker of the canaries and has kept watch over them for 30 years. Due to this, many people idolize his naturalism.[2]

Laura

Laura is found behind the Canary Village, accessible from going through a hidden hole behind the silver spire. She is considered the songstress of the village. When Ninten gives her the Canary Chick, she becomes filled with joy and sings the second melody. If talked to again, she will repeat the song.

Geography

Canarary Village is one of the smallest settlements in the game, being only 4,788 square meters in size.[2] Inside the village, there are several trees and asymmetrically-placed spires. The entire village is surrounded by a brick wall with an opening in the bottom and, further out, a river encompassing it on all sides. There are two bridges east of the village connecting it to Podunk to the south and Choucream Zoo to the north. There are also countless trees surrounding the river.

History

During the early 1900s, a black cloud formed over Mt. Itoi and caused many discrepancies around America. One of the many effects of this was the household pets of nearby towns running away from their owners. The canaries that escaped began nesting in the area that would eventually become Canary Village.
Sometime prior to the events of the game, the village's canary songstress, Laura, had her baby chick stolen by a heartless man from Podunk. This caused her to stop singing, forget her song, and rarely show herself in front of people. Laura's sadness also spread to the other canaries in the village and the melody it once had was lost without a trace.
In an attempt to help the canaries remember their song, a man and woman from Podunk both tried to make them feel better. The man would play a flute for the canaries all day, while the woman had her own canary that sang for them. Despite this, the village canaries were still unable to sing.[2]

Later on, after Ninten gets the Canary Chick from the pet store in Podunk, he reunites it with Laura. Filled with joy, she sings the second melody to Ninten. This also raises the spirits of the other canaries in the village, who will all sing when talked to (albeit with a shortened scene compared to Laura). After this point, the village is never required to be visited again throughout the course of the game.
