"The Enchanted Canary" is a French fairy tale collected by Charles Deulin in Contes du roi Cambrinus (1874) under the title of Désiré d'Amour.
There, an old man told him that in a nearby forest was a park, which held a castle, and the orange grove behind it.
He should oil the hinges, feed the dog a loaf of bread, give a baking woman a brush, and take the cord out of a well.
He heard the witch calling after him, to the things to kill him, but the rope refused because he had kept it from rotting, and so on with the others.
But once he escaped, he could not find water, and he opened an orange in hopes of juice.
Sticking a pin into her head, the maidservant turned the princess back into a canary.
The lord thought the canary lovely and stroked it, which made him find the pin.
