[edit] "Petey"
I grew up with a canary named Petey, and if you do a search, you will find that this has been a very common name given to canaries, comparable to Rover or Fido for a dog. The name can be traced at least as far back as the 1943 Looney Tune "Puss 'n' Booty," which predates Tweety. I wonder if this cartoon is the source of the name's popularity or if it already was popular before. If the cartoon is the source, then that fact might be notable. Richard K.
