The Brimstone Canary or Bully Canary, (Serinus sulphuratus), is a small passerine bird in the finch family. It is a resident breeder in central and southern Africa.
This species is found in open, lightly wooded habitats, such as hillsides with trees or scrub and forest edges. In South Africa it occurs mainly in coastal areas, inhabiting coastal bush, shrubs along streams, gardens, and areas with rank vegetation. It is not truly migratory, but undertakes some seasonal movements.
