Why did Amelia Earhart call her first plane canary?

Well, isn't that just a delightful question! Amelia Earhart named her first plane "Canary" because it was painted bright yellow, like the cheerful little bird. She wanted her plane to stand out and be easily recognizable as she soared through the skies, just like a canary's song brightens up the world. How lovely it is to find inspiration in nature's beauty!
