Harrison has been interested in birds for years, and became particularly interested in canaries in 2002.  Harrison had retired and had a lot of time on his hands, and he had a lonely male canary.  One thing lead to another...

Harrison really enjoys raising canaries, from watching the eggs being laid to observing the rapid growth of the babies, noticing as each one develops their own personality.  He becomes very attached to them, and finds it hard to see one leave when it's sold.

 Harrison feels that being a part of a club like ASC32 is important because, as he puts it, "There is a lot of things you can learn from club members that you don't find in books, especially when you have a teacher like Roger Stroman to give you advice."

The song of the American Singer canary is what Harrison loves best about this breed, and the song competitions.  Harrison also raises red factors and recently acquired a snow white canary that is "beautiful".  We can see that Harrison has an acute case of canaryitis.
