Boomer is a beauty! What a gorgous boy. I'm not familiar with canaries is he naturally that colour or is it because of his diet? Stunning bird.

Beautiful canary! When I bred canaries, that was always my favorite color - even more so than the "artificial looking" bright reds. Good luck with him! Bob
