I just thought I would let you know, I saw your Red Factor Canary on You Tube, and within a month I bought one myself based on your bird. I commented you on You Tube, under the name of Renedor. Thank you for sharing the video. Mine is orange right now, but I am color feeding, and he is molting. He is turning more of a red/orange every day! It is really cool. Thanks for sharing your video. I wish you’d tell me Mango’s diet…so I can get Sparks (my bird) feathers as Red as Mango’s.

I emailed you details, but for anyone else that browses in here and would like to know…I color feed my Canary with this:
FOOD:
Quiko special Red egg food supplement
http://www.petco.com/shop/product.aspx?familyid=14864&cm_ven=ShopZilla&cm_cat=Bird&cm_pla=Quiko&cm_ite=949930
I usually put one teaspoon a day in a dish, add a touch less than a teaspoon of water to it to dampen it, and that’s the red food I feed him daily.
During the moult I am also using this to fresh water daily. The instructions come with it…they are NOT online…lol

Duh, it is also important to know, to also offer carrots and broccoli…they are full of red color enhancing beta-caratene (spelling?). You should have that red food as a supplement…still feed him Canary seed. I offer the Red foods in the mornings, and in the evenings I put canary seed in there too…daily. I enjoy watching him eat different foods. He also LOVES spinach leaves. I give him canary gravel for digestion as well. He sings AMAZING…I should learn to make my own You Tube Video of him some day. I tought him with a Canary training CD, and IT WORKED! He used to just sound like a budgie, until the CD, now he sounds JUST LIKE the CD! I recommend them big time! (By the way, if yours dont sing…they are females, only males sing). Feel free to ask any other questions

the redfactor canary is a colour one of the new coloured canaries in the past we have been told pure nonsense regarding a fertile mule was used to get the redfactor by crossing a venezuelan black hooded red siskin /spinus cocullatus with a canary and the offspring was fertile dont let your intelegence be underestimated by this myth , ok we can breed a mule be it bird or animal but mother nature steps in here and says thats enough the offspring is infertile as if we could do this every time we would not have a true species of bird or animals the way we have got all the new coloured canaries including yellow was by selective breeding and the use of colour feeding so i think it is about time those old cogers had that myth removed from the text books.

Ronal Irvine, I’m afraid it is true a hooded siskin was
used to produce the first genetically modified animal the red factor canary. The budgerigar wont hybridise hence
there will nevr be a red or pink budgie, unless
the red factor is introduced by other means that breeding. Bill Naylor aviculturist U.K.

to whom, it may concern i am thinking of buying a red factor canary from a pet shop in west palm beach, fl from a pet shop went to look at some re factor birds but there were a loto f them in the cage and they were all males and were not singing and then he had a red factor canary that stopped singing because it was molting should i buy one that is not singing at the store or buy one that is singing. the price of these canaries is very resonable verses some of the pet shops in florida.the guarantee was onle 72hours fo you recommend i buy one that is not singing or one thats has sung and is molting now. how long do they stop singing when they are molting, i like the red factor that was ing the cage with alotof other male birds but not singing the owner of the pet shop told me he said that he had more birds comming in form the islands on wed should i wait to see what he has and if not should i buy a canary without seeing it singing. can you advise me some information please thank you william
