This little guy (or gal) has been hanging around our yard all afternoon. My kids thought the bird was hurt or domesticated as it lets us approach within a few feet and will land quite close. It also has a green band around it's right leg. I've searched with no success so I thought I would test the collective knowledge here.

Yes, someone has lost their pet Canary.
Thanks to all who replied. I feel like a fool - the search I did on whatbird came up empty so I of course thought it must be some rare species. Not 10 minutes after posting my wife said that it looks like a Canary - sure enough she's right! - can this be our little secret?
By the way - my kids have reported a few other colorful birds around today so it sound like someones birds have flown the coop (sorry - I couldn't resist the phrasing).
