Can you ID this canary?

Although they are technically passerines, canaries tend to be managed uniquely, so here is a forum just for them!

Can you ID this canary?

Post by WrenNAustinTX » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:09 am

We saw this canary at the Temple, Tx show on Nov 1st and loved its look, but no one was around to tell us what type it was. Can anyone ID this bird?

Not a 100% sure, but it could be a Stafford Canary. Which is a cross between a Red Factor and a Glouster Canary.

I can't really tell from the picture, but if it was a small, round canary, it could be a fife canary.

They had some Fifes there, males separated from the females. We came close to bringing one home.

lovezebs I think a Stafford Canary doesn't have yellow, only shades of red.
